Nice shots, Hock! I really like the perspective in the first one...great lines...except for the elbow! Wonder if that could be cloned out?

Thanks for sharing!

Wow reminds me of a train trip i did earlier this year. In like the trestle approach best but it's always nice to see scenery from other places like in the second one. TFS

Nicely done, Hockey fan. I especially like the perspective you chose for your first one. The curve of the tracks leads one right into your picture. Thanks for sharing.

I love the perspective in first one! Looks like the Cumbres/Toltec line?

This is one of about 600 shots I took during a ride on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic train ride. The train is based in Chama, New Mexico and goes up through gorgeous northern New Mexico and into southern Colorado.

I'd clone out the elbow, except that I have several other shots in the set with the same perspective, and they didn't have an elbow. I just liked the sky in this one.

That's really cool. I was on a train ride similar once, but it was in South Africa on the Otiniqua Choo Choo...on the Garden Route. Wonderful
