Nice night rain shots. Glad to you received some late in May.

Reflections in rail puddles are pure magic. These are very good. Thanks for sharing.

Really nice stuff! I remember as a kid noticing how clear & clean & sharply focused everything looked just after a heavy rain. It miraculously occurred to me that a photographer should go out and shoot something, anything right after such a deluge because everything was so sharp. And this was years before I actually picked up a camera for serious photography. It's amazing how dirty the air gets, and we never really notice until a heavy rain comes along...

Thanks for sharing a really nice series. The Ozol shot's are great.

Awesome photos!!!! Spent many of a day working out of Ozol. Back in the 1970's or early 80's we had a similar winter with heavy rains. One storm caused flooding and then the tide came in and caused severe problems. The old Espee yard office didn't have a raised foundation and flood waters would drown the building. The best picture I recall was the yardmaster sitting at his desk with a foot of water covering the floor and he had his fishing pole trying to hook a fish. Ozol was one of the last places to enjoy Railroading "old school".

Some excellent examples of low light photography. Well done and thanks for sharing.

Great work. My favorite is photo #2 with the signal lights.
