Poe Power Dam

The Feather River Canyon is full of powerhouses and power dams, many of which are owned by Pacific Gas and Electric. While most of them are eyesores, a few can be framed with a train to make for an interesting shot.

 

While following the train, one stop would be at the Poe Power Dam. My friend and I had never shot it, but we knew that you can get a decent shot of a westbound there. After a short moment of waiting, the train would roll by and this was the result. We would shoot the train with one more dam in Oroville, which would also conclude our day.
