While the sun may have set long ago on the original Rock Island, Rob Riley’s Rock Island revival has is at the dawn of a new era for the Route Rock. With many thanks to the cooperation of the entire crew, hundreds of images were captured and the sunset cooperated nicely following a series of storms on July 6. 3 Alien Bees B1600 were used for lighting the locomotives while Mother Nature took care of the rest.
A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
Not
just heritage schemes, not just commemorative schemes - this album is devoted to some of the world's most interesting paint schemes, past or present.
