    Comment by 'hoydie17' in media 'AMTRAK over the waterfalls'

    Thanks for the comments guys, I've actually entered this photo in the AMTRAK calendar contest as well. Don't know if it has a chance or not, I'm sure there's lots of sharp photos out there. :)

    Buckingham Branch GP16's under the full moon

    A pair of Buckingham Branch GP16's was idling in the yard at Doswell, VA. I used a timed exposure and the lighting of the full moon to give a spacy effect to the shot.

    Q414 awaiting a new crew.

    Q414 was stopped at the Lander Road grade crossing just East of Brunswick, MD. Q226 approached and illuminated the Q414, Q226's autoracks are being backlit by the full moon. Look carefully, can you see the "ghost crew" boarding the train?

    Ghost Train over High Falls

    Well, I originally went out to take the night photo of the waterfall, and low and behold didn't this van train pass overhead at the same time.

    Signals under the pale moonlight.

    A set of SAFETRANS signals glow a foreboding red as the full moon passes overhead.
