It's 6:17 AM, August 22, 2021. The steam crew has finished their early morning inspection/maintenance and proceed to connect 6988 to the passenger cars. In a few minutes, they'll grab a warrant and depart for Wilton, Iowa, right around sunrise.
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!)
