Along the tranquil waters of Brule Lake just east of Jasper National Park, Canadian National train No. 310 arcs through Robertson’s Curve at Swan Landing, Alberta, on the splendid afternoon of July 7, 2014. CN EMD SD75I No. 5756 leads GE C44-9Ws Nos. 2577 and 2599 followed by EMD SD70M-2 No. 8883 on the eastbound stack train at this scenic location on CN’s Edson Subdivision.
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.
