North Pole Express and a Christmas tree. The Valley Railroad's newest locomotive, 2-8-2 No. 3025, pulls a train full of families as they visit with Santa and his elves. The train is pulling north through Chester, CT, and past the station (not the original one, though - that is located about 150 yards to the west, and currently is a residence). Two Lumedyne flashes triggered off of a Canon EOS 50D with a Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 EX DC
A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
