Full moon night photos of the Virginia and Truckee Railroad yard in Virginia City, Nevada.
- The full moon lights up the side of the V&T D-2 Locomotive. Light painting was used to light the front of the train.
- Star trails streak by in the background behind the V&T railroad passenger car lit by the full moon.
- The edge of the V&T railroad yard in Virginia City, with an old mine headframe in the distance.
- A view down the tracks from the V&T railroad yard in Virginia City, Nevada. The full moon lights up the sky and clouds rush by during the long exposure.




All nice, I especially like the balance between the light painting and moonlight on the D2.
Thanks, man! I’ve been enjoying your photos of the yard, too. Makes me want to go back!
Looks like great location and excellent shots as always Joe:) Permision visit or sneaking mission?
Thanks, Seb. We talked to the owner, showed him some prints, and got permission.
