Have you thought of putting a camera with a UWA very near trackside right at grade level and triggering remotely? Might get some interesting shots, especially using a slower shutter speed on a hotshot.

I like the first one of the train coming out of the fog - cool.

I don't know why trains are so fascinating.

@tirediron I have thought about doing that in the past, seems like it would be fun to try to do

@vintagesnaps Thanks, and I have wondered the same, First time I have ever saw a train had to been around 1998-1999, Me and my parents went to a KOA campground in Bowling Green and we stopped at a crossing and 2 Amtrak's flew by, as far as I know, ive been Hooked ever since.

Classy Steam

"High tech is for a short time. But art is forever. People still admire a Picasso or a Van Gogh. But they don't admire the steam locomotive anymore."

N&W 611 - what a beauty. What's going on above her pilot though? Looks like a mess of crumpled sheet metal!
