Chapter: 1 - Antonito to Sublette
Caption: (Report Photo 4) - The first run-by of the day is the classic morning shot at Ferguson's (Hangman's) Trestle. The trestle is, of course, not original, but rather a rebuilt job after the original was accidentally burned down in a 1988 movie filming.

Chapter: 6 - The Feather River Canyon
Caption: (Report Photo 59) - Another one of those shots that I really didn't expect to amount to much, but has become one of my favorites from the trip. Taken somewhere around Rich Bar, I think, there's a long, winding stretch through here that lends itself well to large focal lengths...

Caption: (Report Photo 23) - There's the regular train, with 487 on the point. It's amazing how much larger a K-36 is as opposed to the small C-18 class next to it.

Caption: (Report Photo 58) - 4168 leads a westbound stacker through Williams Loop. Taken from the highway bridge, the real challenge to this shot is not getting a train, but rather avoiding getting hit by oncoming traffic on CA Hwy 70 - there's only a very narrow curb to stand on out of traffic.

Caption: (Report Photo 32) - Yours truly posing on the Goose at Osier. Really, I'm having a blast, but my lower back is killing me from an injury a week earlier, so I may not be making the most photogenic face.

Chapter: 1 - Antonito to Sublette
Caption: (Report Photo 6) - No, I didn't set my models out in the desert. Make no mistake, the scenery outside Alamosa is big and wide open, whereas these trains are tiny - as seen somewhere between Hangman's and Lava.
