...And what better to share than Blue Hour photos? "The Blues at MP 2.8" An unknown westbound manifest freight on the BNSF Glasgow Sub chugs into the gloom during blue hour. And slowing the shutter way down to exaggerate the speed of the train, you get this:
Could go to South Africa... I'm a Santa Fe modeler. Nothing gives me the blues. Nothing! Except freight diesels, of course.
The blues are always better at 30,000 feet.... Feb 11th, we were heading to Kauai for a wedding, before the world stopped.
Well, I'll admit when I saw the title and Hemi, I should have known it was "blue hour" but the first thing that actually came to mind was blue power. Bethlehem PA Atlanta GA
Light CP units roll past the Soo Line depot in Minot, ND with the last shreds of last light glinting off the nose:
Probably at Gavin Yard. Sometimes they get dogcaught elsewhere. West Gassman is another common spot. The city bought the land here for the flood project. This is CP Gassman; while not a blue hour shot (time exposure int he dead of the night), it shows the spot, with the monster trestle far in the distance:
Unbelievable Coincidence: My dad a I have a mountain cabin reserved on Kauai in mid July, for my sister's wedding. So far it's still on, but only if the world starts up again.
"Getting the 'Ol Runaround" Amtrak 8 makes an early arrival in the Magic City and slakes its thirst from a Farmer's Union Oil truck as a hot eastbound cracker stacker rushes past at track speed on the second main track. Handheld (but a tripod would have been smarter), Rokinon 14mm @f/2.8.
True story: I post a bunch of my images on various Facebook groups. I posted the "runaround" shot on the Amtrak Empire Builder group, and got a PM from the guy in the image fueling the engines. Small world we live in... Westbound CP oil cans rumble over the Souris River in Minot, during blue hour.
