Maybe railroads need a NASCAR type organization? Where was this photo taken? Must have been west coast? California? Boxcab E50
It would be fairly rare that this photo opportunity would arise. Has anybody seen the Pentrex DVD train meets?
Nice photo, and, as said, a rare chance to find such a perfect line-up. It heightens the anticipation of what might happen next. One suggestion. I would crop out most of the sky, since it is not that interesting. It seems if you go down far enough to eliminate the top wires, the picture becomes even more dynamic.
I've learned my lesson about stepping on right-of-ways. Also, due to construction in the area, there were tons of BNSF personnel. I agree it was not one of my best photos. So, I didn't take the time to "erase" the power lines.
