| The Norfolk and Western J Class #611 running at about 60mph. This was made late in the afternoon and I was trying to hold that big heavy camera steady while photographing out of an automobile window. (Click any image to enlarge) Pentax 6X7; Tri-X film; 90mm f/2.8 lens; Exposure not recorded |
A continuation of my series of "subjects I enjoy photographing" other than landscapes, nature, wildlife and travel, here is another post with some additional railroad themed photographs. In past posts, I shared cemetery and graffiti/unusual signs photos.

| I was standing looking west at the spot where the "golden spike" was driven creating the first transcontinental railroad across the U.S. in 1869. Promontory Summit, Utah. |
If anyone has additional interest in railroad photography, let me know and I can post images from the diesel era as well as passenger trains.
Thanks for looking. Enjoy!

You can't post too many railroad photographs-keep them coming. Especially liked the image of old kerosene lanterns. Details like this always add a lot!
ReplyDeleteThe coal shovel reminds us how hard steam era railroading must have been. Being a fireman on coal fired engine chugging across the Arizona desert during summer had to be hell on earth.
Thanks Bob. I’ll post some more in the future.
DeleteEnjoy the railroad photography, especially any in West Virginia 😀
ReplyDeleteThank you. If my feeble mind can remember, I’ll post some more from WVA next week.
