Great series Bryan. Hmmmm, I wonder who has the right of way in that shot of Y667 merging with traffic. I bet I know who would win if there was any 'question'. lol
I remember about 2 1/2 years ago I saw one of those rail trains but I did not have my camera. It was quite fascinating to watch. It just creeped along without stopping and everything was done in between the ends.
WOW - you guys have been busy since I last dropped in! Absolutely fantastic shots guys!
I wish I had something to offer - but I haven't even seen a train in months... i gotta get out more! keep up the great work and I'll look forward to seeing whats next!
Next to the Mustang thread - I bet this one must be # 2 or at least #3 in views! Great work!

Thanks jbear.
A little tip, you have to stop pointing the lens up at props to see the trains
Nice shot Prashant Verma where was that taken, does not look like the average American passenger train?
Thanks Nikonnubie. It was taken from a moving train in India. There its possible to open the door, hold on to the railing with one hand and take the shot with other while the train is moving
During the month of February and part of January I was in Colorado building a model railroad in a caboose. Traveled by train, of course, and this is the California Zephyr making the stop in Reno headed east.
Jumpin in - yeah the middle rail is contacted by a couple spring loaded brass or copper rollers and the wheels are the ground for the motor. Don't know if those pictured are Lionel - but that's how my old 50's & 60's model Lionels are made.
