The night crew chats while 2-8-2 #12, the eldest and smallest of the railroads 6 Mikados, simmers by the sand tower on the roundhouse lead.
Reality check: This isn't 1952, and a little smoke stick magic was used to bring this scene to life. The next time I do a photo event here, there will be a live locomotive--#16 is getting closer and closer to completion.
A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
