Oh, you bet I could. That's a classic situation that's happened to me so many times... You wait for a while (sometimes hours), decide to go home or somewhere else, and then a train sneaks up on you. Having a radio scanner helps a lot, but even then you can get screwed, haha! |

As usual I'm behind in commenting!
Michele, that's a very pretty diesel locomotive. The colors remind me of some of the old DB diesels! Matheiu, these last two photos are terrific! Love the lighting of "Sweet Winter Light" as well as the patterns, lines and composition of the signal tower and yard. The winter scene is just gorgeous! Lots of depth created by the foreground fence posts, the trees, and the leaning telegraph poles fading into the fog! I bet this one would make a great print -- I'm thinking you could sell this one for sure! ![]() Regards, Kelly |

Thank you Mathieu and Michele! It was frustrating not to get the shot from where I had my gear set up, but on the other hand it was really fun! I don't think non-railfans would understand. I bet Mathieu could tell us some really good stories about his train-chasing adventures. And it is so beautiful up there, and I love the mountain air. I imagine the hardships of all those workers laying rail in this canyon in the 1860s -- such as hostile local natives, bears, moose, badgers, and rattlesnakes!

Great story, thanks for sharing that! And the photo 5318 is a great result too. I like it how the tracks "flow" into the lower left corner. ![]() |

My brother Karl and My Big Adventure in Echo Canyon!
![]() So, I hear that every picture tells a story! Does it? Here's the rest of story behind my post, 5318 in Echo Canyon My brother, Karl, and I drove up Parley's Canyon on our way to Echo Canyon. Our goal was the rest area on the west bound side of I-80. To do that (legally) you have to drive to the Castlerock exit and go back in the west bound direction. Somehow we managed to miss that exit and drove two exits further to Wahsatch were we finally turned around. We had driven half way to Big Wonderful Wyoming! ![]() ![]() Regards, Kelly |

Wow! Lovely, Mathieu! Nice work as usual!
We may have snow heading our way tomorrow - at least in the higher elevations, if not a little down hear in the valley! I was out shooting on the Overland Route today and got thrown out again by the same track maintenance guy that yellow carded me before. He said absolutely no photographing the UP railroad without a permit! ![]() Regards, Kelly |
