Waiting on a Train - A group of photographers photograph cows and frame their shots with them, as they wait on the arrival of Norfolk and Western 475 on the Strasburg Railroad, on November 7th, 2021 at Strasburg, Pennsylvania, during a Dak Dillon Photo Charter. I love catching shots like this so much when I'm trackside that I created a Facebook group sometime back called Waiting On A Train for them. We all have shots that we take while waiting around trackside for our train to show up and if you're looking for a place to post those shots join the group!! Tech Info: Nikon D800, RAW, Nikon 70-300 @ 140mm, f/5.6, 1/400, ISO 140. #trainphotography #railroadphotography #trains #railways #jimpearsonphotography #trainphotographer #railroadphotographer

Waiting on a train in a fresh snowfall! Well, we got probably another 3-5 inches of fresh snow this morning, February 18th, 2021, and while listening to my scanner and trying to decide if I wanted to venture down off the hill at my home I heard the Paducah and Louisville Railway local getting track warrants about 3 miles from the house. I put on my boots and went dashing through the snow to put my drone up before it got to me! After getting it airborne I grabbed this aerial shot of my home from the sky before heading over the trees to setup my shot for the local heading north through Richland to Madisonville, Ky. I'm posting the shot I got after this post so everyone can see what I was waiting on! Good things come to those who wait, even on a cold, snowy morning in Western Kentucky! Oh, yes, that's me in the middle of my driveway! #trainphotography #railroadphotography #trains #railways #dronephotography #jimpearsonphotography Tech Info: DJI Mavic Air 2 Drone, RAW, 4.5mm (24mm equivalent lens) f/2.8, 1/320, ISO 100.

Nashville and Eastern railroad…
