You're Welcome!

Be sure to click the link...some of those photographs by this photographer are simply amazing!!

(I would kill to get even half the image quality that this guy does)

I think he's using a better quality camera than I use. Just a hunch.

GrauGeist · Dec 16, 2012

well, a quality camera is half the battle, but knowing the right time place and having your gear set up for that "shot" is the other half...this guy is good...REAL good...

That is a sweet shot!

I took this video back in Sept. For those of you who haven't visited the deserts of the American west, here's something you might like. The vista's can be amazing.

Note - beginning about the 2:00 minute mark, the 29 Palms USMC base boundary can be seen in the background. More than once have I been watching trains while being treated to an artillery impact show.

Yesterday, I took these at Rice, California. Its long gone, but the Arizona California Railroad has some switching operations going on. This was taken on the long abandoned Midland/Blythe spur. Now used for car storage.

I like how they came out.

Really nice shots, Sys!!

I came across this shot the other day while I was looking for something entirely unrelated, though I might post it

You just can not beat good old steam, you get close with 1st generation diesels, but that's it!

Gnomey · Mar 3, 2013

Good stuff guys!

Aaron Brooks Wolters · Mar 3, 2013

Excellent shots Syscom and very nice find Dave!

Wildcat · Mar 4, 2013

Syscom's pics reminded me of these photo's I took at the start of this year. Photo's aren't that great but I was driving at the same time (don't try this at home kids ).
Welcome to the outback...

Very nice Wildcat! I presume these were all at Mannahill?

Aaron Brooks Wolters · Mar 4, 2013

Most excellent Wildcat!

Wildcat · Mar 5, 2013

The shots of the train were taken somewhere near Port Augusta Sys.

What is the purpose of the third car. Never have seen that configuration before.

Gnomey · Mar 6, 2013

Matt, it looks like a flat car with two bulk liquid containers used in intermodal applications.

Wildcat · Mar 7, 2013

That would be fuel for the loco's, followed by a crew wagon with relief drivers and amenities.
