These are some aerial photos taken on two separate flights during June 2005. A buddy who is a pilot offered to take me up in a Cessna 172 for some aerial railfanning along the Peavine.

I've enhanced the contrast and sharpened most of the photos so they look a little better than the raw digital image. I've also included some non-train images just because I think they're cool.

Hope you enjoy!
