Eastern Railroad Discussion > Night photos at dawn, then dawn photos

Shelly Materials, Kent Ohio, got their first CSX stone train Thursday and I was out their at 6 am in the dark
to photograph Shelly’s SD18m “Flash” starting up and Engineer Bob getting CSX engines 2 HLCX engines started
also and bring the trains together and up to the pit for unloading.

Hey Guys thanks for the compliments, it was everything the other morning from dark, rain, lighting, then heavy rain, back
to rain then the sun tried but gave up to dark again and more rain. For a while there I didn't know wheather to stand up,
sit down, salute the Flag or what....

However...learned a lot can't wait to try again

Thanks again
