Does a railroad image have to have a train?
Author: rcfarewell

I shot this image on Feb 2, 2018, while hiking to set up for an image of the Winter Park Express climbing up through the Moffat Line tunnels. The question is, does this "cut it" as a train photo?

Your thoughts.......

It does for me. It's a railroad signal and track.

Rich,
Most definitely. The signal says it all. Too bad it's a Darth Vader. Thanks for sharing this beauty.

Not in my book!! Anything Railroad related is a "Railroad image", train or no train!

Rich, I don't think this site requires trains to be in the photos as I have posted pictures of stations and more. In fact we occasionally have photos posted from trips that aren't railroad photos but related to the trip to see trains. And yes I love the photo you posted.

There were no trains in this one but most TO members (especially those of us who flew in these birds) loved it.

Maybe this thread should be in the "Nostalgia" section. LOL. I distinctly remember a feature in TRAINS in the
70's of Ken Kramer photos in the east where David P. Morgan asked this very same question. The resounding
answer then, as I recall, was YES. However, I think we've mellowed over the years and can appreciate a beautiful
railroad related photo without a train. Thanks for posting, Lance.
