Remarks & Notes

Getting out of St. Regis before dawn, we headed to some of Montana Rail Link’s last Northern Pacific-era semaphores east of town. Magic colors appeared as a rising sun finally peaked over the tall mountains surrounding the Clark Fork valley at milepost 192. It would probably only last for minutes and we knew that the vertical blades meant nothing was close, as the sun quickly brightened to the east and fog faded just as fast. We photographed the fleeting scene anyway. This brings to mind an age old question. Does a railroad photo have to include a train?

The reason railpictures.net has captured my imagination for so many years. Images of quality and distinction, in other words, amazing railroad photography.

Nocturnal Nuances & Lights In The Night! (Between Sunset - Sunrise / Sundown - Sunup!) Album created by member Dana M.	Album Views: 444,846
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!)
