It might tell in the photographer's book: Northern Light: A Portrait of
BC Rail.

The book might have contact information for the author/photographer.
OTOH, just guessing, he might have used the three bulb holder shown in
the third image of gallery #1

That's great capture! Its caption indicated multiple bulbs were used
for the trestle image. Now, I'm curious to know how many were used.

Thanks for the offer, Collin, but I don't really use them (although do
I have some in various sizes). It is interesting that "for it's
relatively small size, the humble flashbulb carries more light output
power than many other portable light sources". That quote is from
http://www.meggaflash.com/ (the last remaining manufacturer of flash
bulbs). Their two galleries of photos taken with flash bulbs well
illustrates that point and is worth checking out:

http://www.meggaflash.com/2015-02-23-11-40-58/gallery-2
The one that blows me away the most is the final image in Gallery 2:
(Train crossing the railroad trestle). Makes me think that if one was
getting good Northern Lights a big flash bulb going off during the
exposure would be a great way to illuminate the foreground for a
stunning shot. (File that thought.)

Darren,
If you like I'll do my regular thrifting for flash cubes.
They frequently sell for .50 or .90 per pack.
Does anyone use AG1/B, #11, press (25), or 25B bulbs on digital?
You'll just love the GN on those things!
If you happen to come across press bulbs grab them.
(#25 press bulbs do not have the blue plastic coating for cool color
correction.)
They are selling for good money to the movie industry.
Last batch (a gross) I sold went for about $100.
