Remarks & Notes

Red at night, railfans' delight. An incredible sunset provided a spectacular end to an incredible day spent by a group of Northwesterners on BNSF's Needles Sub on February 25th. This was my first visit to the Transcon, and I had certainly never before photographed over 30 trains in a day (I'm much more of a quality vs. quantity photographer), so I was thoroughly blown away by the amount of traffic BNSF runs across the desert. With the sun having ducked below the horizon and lighting the clouds from below, an eastbound stack train glides down Goffs Hill towards Needles, less than a half-hour away from being able to tie up and head for dinner -- just like this group of railfans was about to do.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train Album created by member Lee Kirchhoff	Album Views: 31,682
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.

Nocturnal Nuances & Lights In The Night! (Between Sunset - Sunrise / Sundown - Sunup!) Album created by member Dana M.	Album Views: 445,249
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!)
