Remarks & Notes

20 seconds into my time exposure and this happened. A single bolt of lightning from a severe thunderstorm moving out over the Atlantic, fanned out across the entire sky. Brand new crossing gates are being installed in Palm Bay in preparation for the second main line to be installed for the new, high speed Brightline passenger service from Miami to Orlando. Needless to say, I stood in awe as I watched this amazing display of lightning.

Some of the most spectacular photos of trains are in the worst weather. Here's some outstanding work by photographers who braved the elements!

Nocturnal Nuances & Lights In The Night! (Between Sunset - Sunrise / Sundown - Sunup!) Album created by member Dana M.	Album Views: 446,855
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!)

For the train and storm chaser. Trains with thunderstorms, dark clouds, rain, lightning, hurricanes - tropical storms, funnel clouds, storm light, rainbows, and snow storms.

Fireworks - Lightning - Sparks Album created by member John Doughty	Album Views: 79,320
Sparks fly over the railroads from celebration fireworks, maintenance and repair "sparks", locomotive exhaust fireworks, and nature's light show.
