Remarks & Notes

With temperatures hovering around 40 degrees on a crystal clear night in western North Carolina, Norfolk Southern train P60 negotiates the famous loops of the Southern Railway between Old Fort and Ridgecrest, NC. The train enters the frame (middle left) at Coleman siding, and exits the frame (lower right) at Dendron, 21 minutes later.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train Album created by member Lee Kirchhoff	Album Views: 32,387
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 collection of the best night skies on here. Milky way, star trails, the northern lights. God's handiwork!

Nocturnal Nuances & Lights In The Night! (Between Sunset - Sunrise / Sundown - Sunup!) Album created by member Dana M.	Album Views: 446,439
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!)
