Post Your Best Train Shot......

I was waiting for a steam train so used it for practice, (check my first shot of "Alberta" on the previous page) I wouldn't have gone out specifically to shoot it.

The only diesel I do that for is the mighty DELTIC

Yes I'd seen those magnificent steam trains you both had posted - beautiful photos. The steam engines are in a class of their own (IMO)

The Deltic is a speedster.

It is very interesting (to me anyway) that the Brits are still using steam engines for actual working trains. Here in the USA, or at least in the area I live we only see Diesel engines hauling anything.

What is "Bristol Temple Meads"?

Very nice photo!!

They are not 'working trains'. These are preserved trains and kept in working condition by volunteers, the money that is made from passengers they carry is used to keep them going.
