Well I finally made it trackside for a few hours on Sunday. I've added 12 shots to this album starting with the 2 hour late Amtrak notching it up through pigseye. I had about 5 seconds to get this shot as I chased it down Warner Rd.

I just wandered around the Metro for the next few hours catching what I could. My fav of the day was this UP across the river. I was initially disappointed that it didn't come across the Robert St bridge as I had been anticipating and set up to shoot, but this one was alright.


All in all it was nice to get out for while and smell the diesel once again.

Nice shots there X. One of my goals in the near future is to start trying some distant shots like the UP one you just posted. I'm a fan of that perspective and really want to try it soon.

What are some of the better spots to try this type of shooting? Just looking for a good place to start.

Thats all classified info John :D :D :D unless your riding with me of course :wink:

OK OK I'll give ya a few spots. Anywhere across the river in St. Paul allows for a few shots like that. Take Robert St across the river and hang a right or left and get up along the river wall. You can get UP, CP, Amtrak and TC&W.
If you really want a long shot take the High Bridge (Smith Ave) across to West St. Paul and you can get some shots like this.


Next time we meet up I'll show you a couple of others that I've been trying to get for years. Bring your tripod as you'll need full zoom. Thanks for the compliment
