Mike, you had a nice photo but it was not in the same league as Erik's picuture. Erik should have held his photo for a contest where you had a similarly spectacular pic. Erik. I thought your shot was wonderful because of the sunset colored sky, the glint off the rails and railcars and the dust cloud behind the overtaking train. Very well done!

Mike gets the nod this time. SD40-2 dragging rocks and sand.!! Brute force, I wish I could have heard it. There really is something magic about trains at dusk and at night, both gentlemen captured it for all of us to enjoy. Nice work again.

OK this is tough. That spectacular sky! But as you look at this photo you begin to wonder what is the subject. The signal? Headlights/ditchlights? The shadowed train? Or the sky. The sky dominates the photo and belittles the train stuff. Mike's is a good photo, a good train photo showing a railroad at work. Got my railfan vote!

Congratulations to both !!!!! You're FINALLY beginning to demonstrate how much MORE those Canon Digital Cameras are than your grandmother's Kodak Box Brownie.
Who did I vote for? Two most excellent photos & I'll never tell !!!

Sorry, Mike, but Erik's got you beat again. Beside being a BNSF & UP fan, I also am a sunset fan, too. You had the right idea, Mike, but just the wrong railroad. Oh well, better luck next time.

Rob Knight-I sure do love the smell of diesel fuel and sound of locomotive horns in the morning!:)

Mike: I had a question and posted it earlier but I didn't direct it to you so here goes again - your photo in Vol 53, the rails seem to be rather "rough", are they really that worn?

I voted for Erik's shot. It was just ummm....well.... flawless!
