Okay, I finally finished sorting out the 300 or so crappy shots I took, and here's the cream of the crop.

I like 3 & 4 best. Very nice work!

I think everyone here is stunned by them, which is probably why you've had no comments in 12 hours? (You owe me a <bump>!) :D

[drivelikeyastoleit]

I like 4 and 6... nice set though...

[Trainboy]

Thanks to both of you, and Frank: I'll bump the next dead thread from you that I see ;)

[SonicTarget]

Beautiful series, #4 is just gorgeous.

[tsamarin]

Great work! Four and seven for me. Love the colors!

[Joe the Photog]

You know me from that *other* forum we go to that I love wide angles and commented on the last shot there, but #2 and #4 are the best of the lost. I love the "wide and to the side" view that the second shot gives. Awe-inspiring stuff.

Love number 3, great image!

Good to hear I'm pleasing my fans :p
If you check out RP, I've got a shot on that wasn't shown here.

Just look at that scenery in number three, you make me sick! ;)

[Jamie Holladay]

Greats shots 2 & 4 for me.

[evorgsumaf]

Wow, all great shots. Something in the lower right hand corner of the first picture is throwing me off. It is a blue square of something? But I can't make out what it is.

[CPO_USN]

the blue area is just normal water it starts where the reflection of the trains stops!

[F/M Bill]

Wow, nice shots, all. Hope I didn't miss anything spectacular in #9.

Fabulous shots! What kind of diesel is that second locomotive? With my limited railroad knowledge I have no idea...

[oldvultureface]

Three and four. Drool.

It's an FP9A, part of the A-B-A set of cab units CP used to have powering their Royal Canadian Pacific train before 1400 and 1900 bit the dust. Mostly used as a switcher for the passenger trainset here in Calgary now, I was happy to see it being used (and hear that delicious 567)
Wow, nice shots, all. Hope I didn't miss anything spectacular in #9.
