A Little Train Action

We were on the way to Steve and Shari’s house and we got stopped at our intersection because a train was stopped. After waiting a while I ended up going a different direction. Here is what I found at the other end of the train. It was pretty windy here today and one of the crossing arms snapped. I grabbed my camera and got some shots of the train going through the arms… Man I wish the train could have been on the other side of the tracks, the lighting would have been so much better :o)

That's kinda scary actually. Trains are one of those things that scare me. Great shots though, the color looks good.

Those are some really awesome photos. I love trains (but I have never been on one and would love to) Great angle on these shots too.

GREAT shots! That first one is almost scary, I want to yell at the guy to move out of the way! LOL!

Choo choo! You're funny about wishing the train was going the other way. I guess it's not really true that objects are more cooperative than people. :-)
