Fantastic capture & composition, Kai!!! #670502Steve M. Harrington June 09, 2007
Great image, Kai. You must have planned this one for a while. :)Kai Eiselein June 09, 2007
Actually, this was a "right place, right time" shot. I met the train a ouple of miles up the track, hung a U-turn, hit the gas and raced to this spot. I had about 5 minutes to get things dialed in. #4382275Nikki McDonald July 24, 2007

Congratulations, Kai, and a long-overdue, "welcome to the club!" ;) I love that you saw this image in the first place, with that sign. I also like the distortion from the exhaust over the train, serving to show the train is in motion. #4553185Carol Teal July 25, 2007
