I honestly didn't think that a train from 1904, especially running on those tracks and such could achieve 100 mph. That is quite the feat. Learned something new today :)

Nice shot though.

I'd hate to imagine how much track was needed to slow the beast down from 100-0mph. :lol:

probably a lot less than the amount needed to get it there... ;)

great to see...


some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:
