Union Pacific 4996 at the Tehachapi Loop
The Latest
It's been a few months since I have added any updates. Well, for those who are wondering, I'm still alive and kicking (bad back not withstanding, Again!) We got back from a trip to Death Valley National Park at the end of April. What a place. If you take the time to explore Death Valley, It's definitely not dead. What a marvelous ecosystem survives in such a seemingly inhospitable place. GO if you get the chance, even though I wouldn't recommend going any later into the Spring than we went (109 F one day).
Yes, I did manage to do some train chasing (or waiting) along the way. The above photo was taken at the ranch grade crossing of the famous Tehachapi loop. The sun angle was not real great so I only managed to get a few good photographs. I thought this one was good of UP 4996 working it's way down and around the loop toward Kerne, CA. I did manage to get some photos at Barstow, including an FP45 still in ATSF Warbonnet Colors outside the Depot, Harvey House Museum. I also got a few shots of the east end of the BNSF Barstow Yards.
Of course I've also been busy getting the new Photo Store up and running online. It's still in it's infancy but it is growing. As BNSF approves more of my photos, you will see them available for purchase. Just to let you know, I'm featuring more than trains on that site for purchase, including many landscape, Black and White, Ghost Towns, (including Rhyolite, Nevada) national parks (like Death Valley) and wildlife. Speaking of wildlife (and trains for that matter), I just added a new tool to the arsenal. It's a SIGMA 150-500 F5-6.3 APO DG OS telephoto Lens. So far what I have been able to use it for, It rocks! Check it out at the Sigma Site or at Amazon.com. I think I personally kept Amazon solvent during these bad times but that's another story.
P.S. MRL has contacted me about some sort of License agreement for marketing some of the MRL pictures that I have yet to post. I will hold posting those until I hear back from them.
