Just before the sun rises, 21G ducks under the Pennsy Position Lights at Leetsdale, PA on Norfolk Southern's Ft. Wayne Line on a very chilly January morning. The inbound crew is about done for this run, as the recrew is a few miles west waiting to get on the train and continue it West out of Conway. Unfortunately there was a manifest error on this train, which included hazmats, and the train was tied up on the main for at least another hour for the outbound crew to handle.
Railroading is a 24 hour a day business, that never sleep. From sunset to sunrise the railroad must run. These image are taken by some of the best rail photographer out their.
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!)
