When a wicked cold front decided to pace the CP 650-711 ethanol train south on Saturday, October 10, it was up to the aid of the Alien Bees to try and pull out some dramatic lighting. At Westport, NY, the rear DPU (manned at the time oddly enough) was passing the depot as a Severe Thunderstorm-warned storm approached. The DPU was CP SD70ACU 7013.
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!)
For the train and storm chaser. Trains with thunderstorms, dark clouds, rain, lightning, hurricanes - tropical storms, funnel clouds, storm light, rainbows, and snow storms.
