Remarks & Notes

The headlight of the Union Pacific's fire fighting train cuts the smoke-filled air in the Sacramento River Valley as the Delta Fire rages in the background.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train Album created by member Lee Kirchhoff	Album Views: 110,771
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.

What California is known for. Fires, droughts, weed, and people waving rainbow flags. Yah. Great place alright. At least the trains are nice.

Nocturnal Nuances: Sunset To Sunrise & All Through The Night! Album created by member Dana M.	Album Views: 774,157
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!)
