    Comment by 'steveeshom' in media 'Nocturnal Freight'

    Thanks Ken and Leia. I appreciate your feedback. The fact you found the balance good makes me feel good about my planning and PP. The blue streaks I believe are reflections of some different colored lights (to the left in the 'big' city) off the rail cars.

    Comment by 'steveeshom' in media 'Rough Weather II'

    Surprisingly I didn't have to wait long to get this photo. As the storm moved from east to west I pointed my camera at different subjects and let the lightning come to me (so to speak). I shot a couple dozen photos over about a 20 minute period where the lightning was in a good location...

    Climbing The Blues

    A UP manifest train climbs through freshly fallen snow in Oregon's Blue Mountains between Motanic and Nordeen. The 6 new inches of snow overnight did nothing to deter normal railroad operations.

    Across the Baker Valley

    On cold December morning UP's M-PCHK rolls west across the Baker Valley of northeast Oregon. As is typical for December in the valley, the wind is blowing around 30 mph causing drifts on the highways. No wonder this location is called North Powder!
