Cool shot. I see some people asking if it is HDR, I'm just wondering how one would get an HDR shot of a moving vehicle considering you'd want at least one overexposed image that would mean a longer shutter time and even bracketed bursting you would end up with three images that are different enough that they'd be hard to put together. Please tell me if I'm wrong as I love HDR and it would be awesome to be able to do HDR of moving subjects.

Shoot raw, adjust exposure of one shot and save as three new files. One over, one under and one original exposure.
Hey, you left some track in front of the train instead of having it almost running out of the frame. That looks MUCH better.
I doubt it's HDR. The shaded side is as dark as I would expect, and it's difficult to do true HDR on moving subjects. Most trains move at something like 40-50 mph, depending on class of track. This one looks like at least class 3.

This shot's right on track, Jack
and lucky for me I know it's on rails, and I know I've positioned myself safely, but I still have a huge adrenaline rush when shooting these behemoths. When I'm positioned on a curve like this, and looking through the VF and watch a train bearing down on me, I start to wonder......
