Incredible catch considering how fast these trains were going.

It is such a fantastic image, because the train on the nearest track is moving away from the photographer! So what minute time frame could have passed between the approaching train's first appearance and the shutter being pressed? Plus, both power cars are perfectly framed between the catenary towers as if they were posed! If it wasn't pure luck, I'd suspect the use of a motor drive. A wonderful catch, Daniel!

Thanks for comments and compliments !
Yes this image have been taked in motor drive mode with 4 shots... It is not easy to shoot this kind of picture; First because you must have chance to be where trains crossing; Second because this kind of high speed train run so quickly (270-300 km/h | 167mph-186mph) and you must work in (S)peed shooting mode (1/640 or 1/800) to have the train without blur; Third i must anticipate the train speed, where are the catenary towers to not have it on power cars noses and shot at right time !
