Here is a shot her Mom took while they were waiting on the train.

Larry, let your granddaughter know she took some really nice shots in very challenging conditions. She's got a good eye for composition, that's for sure.

Might fine and very wonderful photos from your daughter. I Love them a LOT.
UP 844 is a very beautiful locomotive indeed !!!

That 3RD Shot she nailed it, awesome!

Well done! The third shot looks like it was planned for quite a long time as everything comes together just right. A sunny day might have changed the look of this too much.

Encourage your daughter to continue with her photography. It is good to see a younger generation take an interest, if at least for a day, in the railroads of the area. I have seen several younger persons posts on here and they have a great eye for composition. It is encouraging to an old rail like me.

Larry, please tell Eilish that she did a GREAT job with those 3 photos!
As others have said, she has a great eye for composition, and it is wonderful
to zee that young people like Eilish are interested in trains. I like all 3
photos! Tell her and Pauline to keep on taking photographs, and that we here
reallg like their work.'

Well done, Eilish and Paulina!

Long live the UP 844!

Thanks to one and all for the nice comments and words of encouragement for the girls.

Great photos!,and I agree with everyone else's replies. Especially Great to see how she caught the 844 in this kind of weather,which really shows the "Steam" coming from a Steam engine! Love #2 for the steam exhaust and blow-down, and especially #3, with the steam exhaust drifting up,and blending into the clouds in background! Plus a nice/different take on the trip so far! I for one, was pleasantly surprised, when first viewing this!
