| Railroads at Night |
| Below are photos I have taken that show Railroading at night. Enjoy. |
|
| This photo was taken in 1983. One of the first nite shots I took. It shows a CNW GP working Mitchell Yard which on the south side of Milwaukee, WI. The bridge over the yard is 35th St. |

 |
| This photo was taken in August 1996. UP 844 was pulling an excursion from Council Bluffs, IA to Chicago, IL. Cedar Rapids, IA was the stop for the night. The locomotive was being serviced and was spotted right under a yard light. Perfect for shooting. |
| Also shot in August 1996 at Cedar Rapids, IA. While the locomotive was being serviced and prepared for parking for the night, several eastbound trains past the yard. The yellow and gray blur is one of them. |
 |
| The combination ot nite and fog made this shot possible. The signal here is at LaGrange, IL on the BNSF triple-track mainline. The shot was taken in Dec 30, 1996. |
 |
 |
| Shot the same night as the picture on the left. This shot of a METRA train departing the LaGrange Stop shows the neat effects that fog and darkness can produce. |
 |
 |
| These 3 shots were taken at Proviso Yard in Chicago, IL. They were taken in Fall of 1996. The shots were taken from behind a grocery store. From this vantage point numerous engine can usually be seen idling while they wait for service. |
