UP1989 on the point of the Ski Train

Actually, I think the first photo is reminiscent of a Ted Rose watercolor. The more I look at it, the more I like it. I’ve looked at enough tight 3/4 angle shots for 3 lifetimes…include a little scenery. Thanks for sharing.

Chris,

I agree with fifedog,The composition is really good here…I would have waited another min until he got closer for a larger image at the same angle (getting some of the train too)…That loco really goes well the Ski Train…Did I tell you I got the Sony A100 for Christmas? Im still playing with all the stuff on it…Danny

It was sunnier up in Fraiser on Saturday afternoon.

This is my first shot at posting pictures, so hopefully they will turn out.

While waiting, a westbound freight came by. It had BNSF 4880 on the point and then two FERROCARBILL MEXICANO units from . First was 4544.

Was wondering if anyone had any information on these? Pretty far from a warm home.

Also, here is SKI TRAIN 242 on the point 1/21/07. Snowing lightly.

I got some neat ones yesterday of a CN train smoking like a mother -you know what- in the cold weather. I had a setting wrong and I’m not sure if I can save them or not but if I can I’ll try to post them. It was -5F with a w/c of -15F. No hat or gloves cuz I wasn’t intending on shooting any pics but it happened anyway.

How in the world do you guys railfan in -5 degree weather? The only way I would railfan in that kind of weather is if the track was less than a 100 ft. from my door ! I just could not function in that climate…From what Ive seen on tv everything is at a stand still there…Danny
