Photographers George S. Pitarys and Brian Solomon spent several days in January 1998 photographing Iron Road Railways\u2019 Quebec Southern. On the last morning of the trip, they hit the road well before sunrise and followed an eastbound train in the sub-zero gloom. This exposure was made at Cookshire, Quebec at sunrise. The clouds that made for the rosy morning glow would soon prevail leaving for a flat gray day. Sometimes your first shot of the day is your best.&nbsp;<em>photo by Brian Solomon<\/em><br \/> <strong>Nikon N90S; Fuji Provia 100 (RDP)<\/strong> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#1e0ed8;text-align:center\" class=\"has-text-color\"><strong>Tracking the Light Posts Daily!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This photo appeared as a full page image on page 102 of Railway Photography, a book authored with the late John Gruber in 2003.
