Remarks & Notes

A supercell thunderstorm rages on across the Texas night sky as the flashes of lightning silhouette tall cement grain silos as a BNSF container train flashes east through Umbarger at milepost 581. This particular storm was extremely active as it crossed the state. I was driving behind the storm all evening and night never being able to catch up as lightning flashed continuously from the churning clouds.

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!)
