Some might think getting trains on the UP East-West main at sunset might be easy, well most days it isn't, but today I lucked out to have this eastbound Council Bluffs to Proviso freight train rolling at sunset along highway 30. The train is about to pass thru the Wheatland, IA, right as the sun sets on another day.
Landscape photography is difficult due to the challenge of combining good light and good scenery. Good railroad photography enters another level of complexity since it requires the first two while there is a train in view.
Pictures taken with the strong contrast between Rail and Light in Dawn/Dusk/Sunrise or Sunset.
