Remarks & Notes 
Sunset on the Pere Marquette. Pere Marquette 1225 leads a 31-car, double-header eastbound through lush Michigan farmland, just moments before a late August sunset.

While browsing my archives recently, I came across this frame from the August, 2009 Lerro Productions Photo Charter in Owosso, MI. That trip paired the last two operable Lima Berkshire Locomotives, the PM 1225 and the NKP 765 with some 31 freight cars on Michigan's Great Lakes Central Railroad, in what has to be one of the most impressive photo freights ever assembled. Not sure how or why I overlooked this one 6 years ago, but it now has me wondering how many other undiscovered gems I might have hiding in the 2 Terabytes or so of photos I've accumulated in the last 7 or 8 years.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train

Landscape photography is difficult due to the challenge of combining good light and good scenery. Good railroad photography enters another level of complexity since it requires the first two while there is a train in view.

A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
