Title:
Close Up of 979 at a combined 75mph
Description:
After seeing a green signal at Hannon, I went down the line looking for a southbound and found it. I was going 45 and this Duke Power coal train was going 30 for a combined speed of 75. This shot which I personally find this shot amazing. It is the product of goof by my girlfriend. I was driving and asked her to shoot the shot as we went by. Turns out she was too short to get the locomotive in focus due to the elevation of the track. But the angle somehow came out just perfect in my opinion. I also got some video of this train at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oL_W3sS9GKs.
