The Real "Polar Express" locomotive 1225. At 5 degrees and clear blue skies who could ask for better photography conditions of a steam locomotive. Here we see 1225 heading north with another Sold out train as the North Pole Express by the Steam Railroading Institute. A big Thanks for a wonderful 2008 season is well deserved by all who made it possible at SRI.
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.
