From an overlook on the side of Rich Mountain in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas, a southbound Kansas City Southern train is seen descending the grade as it approaches the town of Mena. Stars streak through the sky as the earth rotates below on this cool, crisp autumn night of November 28, 2021.
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.
