Lights In The Night (Or Sundown/Sunrise)! Railroads Seen In Another Perspective! Album created by member Dana M.	Album Views: 264,606
An ongoing/growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome, but seldom seen beauty of railroads because most of us don't go out after sundown or before sunrise. From dusk to dawn, lights are on! (And I continue to find new "Lights In The Night"!)
