Posted by Jim Thias on January 19, 2011  Didn't notice the second train snaking through the yard the first time I viewed this. Very nice, Nick! PCA. Posted by Mitch Goldman on January 19, 2011  Nicely captured, Nick! Couldn't have asked for a better setup. Posted by Rich Clark on January 19, 2011  Wild shot Nick! Looks like a couple of pythons slithering their way among the trains, nice execution. Curious as to how long the exposure was as they both look like unit grain trains? Posted by Nick Suydam on January 19, 2011  @ Rich - It was a 10 second exposure. No unit trains here, an outbound manifest freight departing south, and a cut of general freight in the foreground. I did catch a pretty solid cut of those brown BNSF grain hoppers being pulled from the bowl tracks though. Thanks everyone! Posted by Ken Huard on January 25, 2011  Great lighting! Posted by Al Crossley on January 27, 2011  Most "streak" shots do nothing for me whatsoever, but this one is beautiful (and would be so even without the second train)!
