Here is one more shot I took the other day. This one is of train that I rarely ever see(comes by early morning). Goes to Ford's Wixom Plant. I see it's counter part all the time though(can't get pics now, because it gets dak so early). Shot just north of the diamond at the Northville road overpass. Shot with a G6 1/320 at f4.

Comments welcome

A train shot and I missed it?

Looks pretty good - Is that CN? I'm certainly not familiar with all the motive power up that way.

No its a FURX SD40-2 (First Union Rail) leased unit.

That's a nice spot to see trains close-up since you can park and stand within a few feet of the tracks. We try to train spot up there from time to time but there's always guys "alone" just sitting in their cars waiting for something... It creeps my wife out too much to stay around for vary long. And they don't seem to care when the trains come along so I know they aren't up there for that!

Yea it is a creepy place. I just stay in plymouth untill I know a northbound train is coming up there. Which is rare since most northbounds come by at night.
