Are you a rail photographer??

Just missed the train unfortunately( last 3 cars were going over while I was pulling up). Still a good pic though I think:

Southern FP7 #6133 at East Chattanooga

Southern #6133 leads its train into the super-sharp curve leading to the station at East Chattanooga.

#6133 shows off her colors waiting to be uncoupled and head onto the turntable.

One of two head-on pictures of #6133. I decided to post one of two pictures given that I took both pictures from the same spot, the only difference is that I zoomed in on this one.

A rear view of #6133, waiting to get onto the turntable. Note the 'C.N.O. & T.P.' on its side, just below the grills. For those who don't know, 'C.N.O. & T.P.' stands for Cincinnati, New Orleans & Texas Pacific. This railroad is best known as the railroad that operates 'The Rathole', which runs between Cincinnati and Chattanooga known for its small tunnels. The C.N.O. & T.P. later became part of Southern and then Norfolk Southern. I regret not getting any pictures of #6133 on the turntable.

#6133 has been turned around on the turntable and prepares to couples onto the other end of the train.

Later, the return trip to Grand Junction behind #6133.
 
UP 1988 made a visit today. That was well worth the time spent in the cold......

If you have a subscription to the Trains magazine or bought the November 2014 issue of Trains. You might recognize this shot as it was on page 5. And yes, I am the one who took the shot.

 
Thanks Paul.

Here are two of my shots from my last trip out photographing trains. This was taken on October 23rd, 2014 at Ayer, Massachusetts. I caught the Norfolk Southern Heritage unit "Savannah and Atlanta". This unit made it the 8th Norfolk Southern heritage unit that I have seen so far. However, I am still waiting for the one that I really want to see and that is New York Central unit. Maybe someday I will get a chance to see that unit.



 
WARNING!!!!!!! EXTREMELY HUGE PICS AHEAD!

Lets play a little game of: Where Were These Pictures Taken? This is for sure an easy one!

Hi all

Everyone's photos are really nice. And here is mine. All the photos were taken by me in 2014.

I found I'm lucky for that there are still some steam locomotives working for mines and factories instead of tourist.:D But most of them will stop in few years.:'(

And here are two photos of the QingZang railway:
