The Polar Express by Kendall Collins Via Flickr: "Wooo wooo the whistle blows That’s the sound of her singing Ding ding the bell will ring Golly look at her go You wonder if you’ll get there soon Anybody’s guess Cause that’s the way things happen On the Polar Express"

A William Henry Jackson Moment by Kendall Collins Via Flickr: The Overland Limited has stopped on a ledge outside of the tunnel on Donner Pass. The passengers can get out and see the view from the ledge as the train prepares for the trip Eastward towards cities like Reno in Nevada before heading to Ogden, Utah. Mr. William Henry Jackson took the time to take a picture of the scene before the train departed from the spot. A fun experiment using a dirt pile, some models and track, and figures from one WHJ photo. I like this all comes together.

Wreck Of The Wonderland Flyer by Kendall Collins Via Flickr: This was the aftermath of the Wonderland Flyer derailed in a clearing near Sherwood Forest. The little train was racing through the woods when it came off the tracks and fall down the embankment. As the engine smolders on the ground, the breakdown train prepares to remove the wrecked cars from the scene. A little scene made with a set built on a table with dirt, some trains, and good lighting. I'm pleased with how this was put together.

At the siding. by Kendall Collins Via Flickr: It was another day in west Utah, as the eastbound California Zephyr passes the westbound Southern Pacific freight train heading to Sacramento, CA. It'll be a while before the track will be cleared and the freight train can proceed through the Nevada Landscape under an evening sky.

The Little Union Pacific Train by Kendall Collins Via Flickr: Here we watch the small Union Pacific passenger train passing through the landscape of Utah. A little Photoshop project I did with some of the model trains I posed in the backyard. The background photo was from a vacation into the said state.
