One of the Commonwealth Railway's locomotives, a LTEX GP15-1, sitting behind an industry. Apparently, that is the normal location that they keep it sitting at.

Yes they were running long hood forward. They came off the CSX Portsmouth Subdivision and went onto the Commonwealth Railway.

What camera do you shoot with and what software do you edit with? Assuming you do some editing

Nothing professional, just a Nikon D3300. I think it does what I need it to do. As for the editing, I just put the pictures in Microsoft Office to improve the overall lighting of the photograph and for resizing to comply with the RWA file size constraints. I use Paint.net as well.

Norfolk Southern Local #NV61 makes it's run to the propane industry with NS #555608 trailing behind as usual. I love to see a caboose still operating on a mainline.
