Unique Shots in the Commuter Train

[scotteisenphotography]

Well I have some interesting connections most places I go, and tonight I got to shoot in the locomotive of a Boston Commuter Train. I've always wanted to do this. Unfortunately it was night but good thing for a 5D mark 2 and ISO 6400 =] Here are a few shots you won't find anywhere else. I understand some of these may be a bit dark, but it was more just for the experience of being there.

1. Pulling out of South Station at 10mph

The system is the Purple Line in Massachusetts. It's a commuter rail that goes from boston to providence rhode island as well. This is in the USA.
