Now that it's warming up here in the Vegas Valley...temps in the 70's...thought I would share a pic from last summer... The desert can provide some interesting backdrops...especially in monsoon season.
Here's a twillight shot--the only way it works: Oh, did I forget to mention this is my favorite Moffat Route shot?
Not too long, just past dark, which at that time of the year was just before 7 PM. The engines in the tunnel (T19) belong to BNSF's M-DENSTO. They all look the same, filthy or fresh paint. That's what's neat about shooting in extreme lighting conditions--it hides undesirable engines or paint, dirt, etc.
Classic! A pair of BN 'Deuces, unmolested high-headlights, beacons, nice angle! The exposure really adds a mood to the shot. Nicely executed! Shame that shot is not easily replicatable nowadays..
In Colorado, sitting next to BNSF tracks. [ March 25, 2006, 11:19 AM: Message edited by: Harold R. (aka SD75MAC) ]
