Railroadforums.com is a free online Railroad Discussion Forum and Railroad Photo Gallery for railroaders, railfans, model railroaders and anyone else who is interested in railroads. We cover a wide variety of topics, including freight trains, passenger and commuter railroads, rail news and information, tourist railroads, railway museums and railroad history.
When you're shooting train photos, usually the last thing you want to see is a work crew, as it usually means there won't be any trains any time soon.
This recent evening was no exception, a BNSF work crew was tamping the approach to Bridge 37, across the Snohomish River near Everett, WA.
Since it was "Blue Hour" and I was hoping for a shot, I decided to turn this bright yellow lemon into lemonade. It's probably the fanciest shot of a tamper I've ever taken.
Ditto. The greatest misconception is a railroader either drove a train or drove spikes. Goes without saying there's so much in getting a train from point A to point B.
