Bring on the Night - 401 in 2018
Author: MaryMcPherson

These were taken during a night photo session at the Monticello Railway Museum in 2018.  You may notice that my favorite images from a night session are the ones I take before / after the floodlights are illuminated.

1.  Waiting for Sundown next to Stair Tower.

2. Almost time for the session to start, so why wait?

3. Person in charge: "Get ready!"
    My camera:  "Click!"
    The lights come on.

4.  Moving the train into position for another setup at Nelson Crossing.

5.  Again, why wait for the floodlights?

6.  And again....

Wanna floodlight, wait for the sun to come up!

Awesome night images with the 401 back in 2018.  Thanks for sharing these gems.

Great work Mary.  More natural than under the floods.

Love these wonderful B&W night shots.  They immediately gave me an idea of how one of our local engines - the 400 - might have looked like at night.
