Rocketing out of the sag at Hackberry, this Westbound heads along the former US Route 66. Track speed here is 80mph for passenger and 70 for freight into this curve, and this train is doing it's best to outgun the sunrise.
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!)
