Train!

April 8, 2008 – 7:09 am

I happen to really like trains. Whenever we are out and about in the countryside or a city shooting photos, it is especially nice if we are close by the railroad tracks to catch a train passing through. I not only like to photograph trains in movement, I like to feel the mighty rumble as [...]

Onaga, Kansas Visit

March 31, 2008 – 8:54 am

 

Upon entering Onaga, Kansas, there was plenty of farmland and the railroad tracks. Onaga was founded in 1877 by the Vermillion River and situated by the Kansas Central Railroad. Onaga is in northeast Kansas set in the rolling hills. The surrounding countryside is stunningly beautiful. Preston posted a wonderful close-up view of the scene above: [...]

It is not unusual in these small Kansas towns for the train to actually stop on the tracks for anywhere from 15 minutes to several hours.  If you [...]
