This time of year always brings spooky images of fog, fire, mystery and majic. Trains may not be near the top of the list when you think of Halloween, but if any part of the industry embodies that sometimes fearful imagery it's railroading around? steel mill. Shadows and silhouettes, fire, steam and smoke, massive machinery all come together day or night in an awesome display.

Just like Halloween, things aren't always as they appear. The train, the man in the silver heat suit and the tools are all real. The heat and steam...just lights, some red plastic wrap and a few fog machines. This staged scene captures the spirit of the industry, the season, and the hobby.
Thanks to Brian Alesin and Phillip Banks for the lighting, and Mike Pearsa of the National Museum of Industrial History for braving the suit.
