    Often times, after the sun goes down and the air becomes still, one might be able to hear the sounds of a train off in the distant, making its way through the darkness to its destination, wherever it might be. Many railroad photographers, such as the great O. Winston Link, spent their nights under the stars with cameras and flashes along the tracksides, watching and listening for their subjects to appear out of the darkness. Taking a bit of inspiration from OWL, I decided to spend some of my nights trackside as well. With that in mind, I compiled a collection of my personal favorite nighttime scenes of steam locomotives from the past three years into this video. From the quiet rural countrysides to the ever-busy commuter platforms, steam locomotives storm through the night on their way to their destinations, wherever they might be. Now, please enjoy this exciting video brought to you by Blue Comet Productions!

    The tone of the bells beginning to ring in the darkness at 6:30, then ending the segment of the fast moving freight, is just awesome!

    7:58 that has to be my favorite shot! Steam and snow at night!
    Just seeing heavyweight passenger cars pull into a station at night always looked cool to me!
    I amanged to see Union Pacifc 844 pull into Kansas City Union Station at night back in 2016! I have a video of it on my channel, but the camera I had didn't take good video at night.

    Night and sunset scenery will always be my favorite. There's something about the lights that shine brightly into the night, especially since I was born in NYC, and the colors of the sunset is undebatedly beautiful, trains match these the best. Check out the 1980's commercial for the Amtrak California Zephyr, that's a fine example

    For the Carland Elevator scenes they should have added some sort of fake date like April 12, 1957 or something like that. Sense that scene basically came straight out of the 1950’s.
