This is as close as I would ever want to get to an oncoming train – I was about 10 feet away and the train was going full speed. (I was safely on an embankment shooting over a fence…)

Love the engineer’s face!
that’s friggin’ awesome!
I love it! I have a lot of photos of them too. Hard to resist!
Wonderful photo. It looks like the engineer or conductor on the right (with his hand up) was wondering about your proximity too!
Thanks – I was completely focused on framing and timing the shots, didn’t see the guy until I processed the photos…
