Trains travel at 200km/h here which is the last leg on the railroad from Stockholm to Stockholm Arlanda Airport.

I'm not very happy with the pictures as i would have liked the curve to go the other way or the sun be 180 degree opposite but one can't get everything

Also the catenary poles wheren't put up thinking of our kind.

You can't even tell they are moving. How about panning with a slower shutter?

I would have wanted to but there are alot of poles in the way i was more focused on getting whole trains or close to it, I'll try and combine the two in the future though.

They were going so fast they blew the signal over. Interesting collection.

They aren't terrible shots, but this is called "setting up the shot", right? Find the background, find the light, & wait for the train.
