Checking the Illinois Rail Museum's roster, and I only see one Pacific, and it appears to be this one: http://trains.nute.ws/​4-6-2/CRI&P938.htm (external link)

Considering the state of the art of that camera, it's a pretty good shot.


I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!

Here is something different, but rest assured it has plenty of horsepower !
It's just a quick shot from too far away ...

should have used slower shutter speed... the trees and scenery almost look stopped.

I know, I just heard it and had to snap it without time to adjust settings. The train is at rather low speed on that spot it's a few miles from having to stop in Brussels south station. It might still be at 40mph, it is slowing down from it's top speed somewhere around 200 mph.

I have thought so many times to get out and set myself up along the track a few hundreds yards away from my house. The thalys train and eurostar pass there at regular bases every day. But I never seem come to it. :oops:
