Remarks & Notes

As the sun begins to dip below the horizon, an SY locomotive laden with underground mine waste slowly makes its way up the incline to dispose the waste on a mad made hill at Fuxin composed of mine spoil from underground mine operations and flyash from power stations. The steep incline means the locos have to work really hard and the reward at this time of day is a golden sunset and magnificent smoke plume. Mining spoil and flyash tipping operations were entirely carried out by steam locomotives at Fuxin until August 2016. North-Western Liaoning Province, People's Republic of China.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train Album created by member Lee Kirchhoff	Album Views: 31,538
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: 445,033
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!)
