Bound for a mystery

 

It's always a pleasure to shoot the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad,

especially on a rare occasion when it runs at night.

This was the last excursion before the winter 2007.

 

In this long exposure, the train is actually sitting still and waiting for

passengers to board. The soft wind kept the smoke and steam flowing

just enough in the right direction to give the illusion of movement. The

station lights gave a nice warm tungsten glow.
