A little over an hour after sunset, northbound manifest train MSHKC-17 rolls across the bridge over the Elk River in Ginger Blue, MO on a clear and cool Wednesday, January 18, 2023 evening. Just a couple of hours earlier, the KCS business train cruised through here, but I was stuck at work and missed the opportunity to catch it. I already had all the equipment in the car with me though, so I decided to go out and try to shoot something anyway. Luck was on my side as KCS 4006 - the veterans unit - was second in the consist and lit up nicely with the strobes.
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!)
