Caught this westbound BNSF train entering Klondike, about 16 miles west of Amboy, CA. Click on the image to see the full size on it's Flickr page.

I like that image, & wonder if you could have shot from more to the left?

Nice shot, Dave. I like that location. One day, I hope to catch two trains meeting there.

Shooting more to the left would only catch the front end of the train as the roads drops down, and you wouldn't get the desert in the background.

Thanks Ken.

Wish we had more orange power around here. I agree about catching a second train there....that would be a real wow shot.
