119 with Wagon Wheel

This is one of those times when HDR is just not going to work, (the train was moving), but demonstrates that my camera actually works very well in a single shot. This is Engine No. 119 and she was being moved along the rails in a demonstration of how they run and look while underway.

No 60's Controls and Nose to Nose


These two photos show details of the two witness trains in Promontory,UT at the Golden Spike location. Both are 5 shot HDR's and show the incredible colors of these two beauties.

No 60 and No 119


These are replicas of the trains that were present at the time the golden spike was driven to connect the railroad through from the East to the West. They are on display in Promontory, UT. both were captured in 5 shot HDR's.
