Nicely framed, this would look great hanging on a wall.


I don't know anything. But I know other things.

I have others of him just watching trains. It is really special to me that he actually enjoys it. And I had nothing to do with it. From 6 months old and driving him to daycare we had to pass over NJ Transit twice and pass 3 stations. We would easily get held up by 1 train and see atleast 1 or 2 more just in our short drive. He eventually started to put things together by 9 months old with the preemptive white signal lights at crossings. He knew if they were flashing a train was coming. He would just grunt or make ooohhs and ahhhhss and make whiney noises and point. I eventually figured out what he was doing it. He knew to look up the tracks by one station to look for the headlights of the AM rush hour trains. His mother hated that he took a liking to trains so early. He uses my old rebel xt to take pictures but it's kinda crapped out so i may see if he can hold my old 40d with kit lens.

Very cool!!!

Nice! So all the tracks in England aren't electrified yet?

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

I've got an XSi I need to get rid of if you're interested.


I don't have an R, its an RP. Forum doesn't recognize that yet.

Just curious, is there a reason the tank cars look like they're bent in the middle?
