Trains All Types

Took advantage of some Cajon Pass snow to head out and grab some train shots. (Always have loved trains, but never shot them). Had a fun train come through, points to whoever can guess what it was.

That first shot is one of the best train shots I've seen.

Hey Nate, That train is hauling Army Strykers. WAAAY COOOL MAN!!! I wonder where it is headed to. I'm guessing Ft. Irwin.

Yep, I thought it was pretty sweet. The train was southbound though, we had a local tell us they were brand new off the assembly line headed to be shipped overseas (can't confirm). Here's a detail shot of the Strykers... Pair of Mobile Gun System Strykers, a Mortar Vehicle and Medic Vehicle Stryker:

@kick Z tail out: Great shots from your snow day in Cajon, and nice catch with the military train.

I didn't know there was a thread about trains.  Here are a couple of images from my commutes to work this week.

Nice Damon.  I just recently got out and shot some new train stuff. I like it because they have to come by you. 



Shot this one blind (not looking in the viewfinder) while pacing him in my truck at 50mph. Fun shot 1/200
