Organizing some photos on the hard drive and I thought I'd share. These were taken in Illinois, a couple at the Railway Museum.
Hope you enjoy and as always, enjoy any critique!
Thanks,
Ken

What I see now is a bridge picture, only one image. What happened to the rest? Is there a way for me to see them all now?

I do like the bridge!!!!!!!!!!!

Moving stuff around, I accidentally broke the links. There wasn't much interest in this thread so instead of correcting, I just deleted the links.

Thank you Ken. This first shot really amazes me! Living in Small Town America I have never seen any tracks like what you are showing here. That looks like a massive train wreck waiting to happen to me!

A very interesting set of tracks indeed! :-)

Agreed. It's a compelling vantage point.

Great work Ken. I love that overhead shot of the switching yard. Holly cow, that's a complicated bunch of track switches! Could you please share how you captured that shot?

Thank you, I took it while leaning over the rail at a parking garage that over looks the elevated tracks. I think that it is the intersection at Lake and Wells in Chicago.
