Over the Valentine’s Day weekend last February, Deb and I spent our time out on BNSF’s Needles Subdivision. Yes, Deb was up for it, mostly because it was also a new moon weekend which is ideal for her favorite endeavor of star gazing, but partly because she wants me to be happy! ;-)
We chose the BLM land near the railroad’s curve at Lavic, California as our campground. We were blessed with great weather and little to no wind. The trains were plentiful, as is typical along the “BNSF transcon.” Consequently, collectively we shot over 800 photos and 32 videos.
I have done the post processing of the better photos and some of the video footage has been edited as well. I have added about 80 more photos to my portfolio. For those of you not familiar with the Needles Sub, here is a sample of the scenery surrounding Lavic:
The rest of the photos from the Lavic trip and all my other photos can be viewed by clicking on my “portfolio” link in the menu bar at the top. Once there you can view the photos in a slideshow format, rate the photos, and even purchase prints or downloads. Here is what the portfolio page looks like:

Six videos have been created so far. I created the “Trackside” series which can be viewed on Chasing Steel’s YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/chasingsteel. I am pleased with how the videos are coming along so far. Here is what my channel looks like on YouTube:
