STUNNING CAPTURE
Awesome....
I love the sound of trains clattering by and thundering as they pass. I remember visiting my grandparents as a kid (my maternal grandparents.) They lived near a freight line that stretched over a fairly steep embankment behind their house. Back in the olden days, when I'd sit in the kitchen, watching Buck Rogers in the 25th Century or some odd children's show like Space Academy or even Jason of Star Command a freight train would always thunder by and completely ruin television reception! For a while, I absolutely loathed trains. This shot brings all of that back, because I'd be really interested to stand on that overpass and capture one of these speeding leviathans with my camera. This is fantastic. Fun. Heady. It's kinda like the photographic equivalent of a bracing shot of vodka after chopping firewood. Hmmm...where did that just come from? Oh well, there you have it...trains, old tv shows, firewood, and vodka...those are the makings of something interesting!
Now that is SOME train!..couldn't see that stopping in a hurry.
WOW! Only two locomotives for all those cars and all that coal. It must be a very level train route. Awesome shot. Dana
