Feb 15, 2016 21:23 | #3145 I find myself constantly trying to find the ideal place to photograph trains. It just doesn't exist around here. There are places I've found where I can shot them safely without the whole "trespassing" thing, but the background composition is severely lacking. I want to die peacefully, in my sleep, like my grandfather.

Inspeqtor wrote in post #17899979 I totally agree with you there. I have also found it very lacking. That does make it tough. I actually have to drive up to an hour or so away to get to some of my favorite spots, but I am lucky to have a bunch of places locally that I can also hit after work.

I was leaving from a meeting in Richvale California (Northern Sacramento Valley) and saw this coming down the tracks. One of the more unconventional train "engines" I've ever seen.
