Nice job!

Love a moving train. Well seen and shot, Ed.

Carl and Racine Erland		02-Feb-2010 16:44
Wonderful...reminds me of when I was 'younger' trying to count the cars on the train as they went flying by. Great first image for the challenge. - Racine

Excellent sense of movement here.

Maaike Huizer		02-Feb-2010 08:33

This is really moving!! Good pick for the challenge! I love it.

The motion was captured perfectly. Excellent work Ed. V

Timothy Guenther		02-Feb-2010 02:33
Retirement really keeps you too busy for photography, eh? Good motion shot!

Inga Morozoff		02-Feb-2010 02:16
Looks like it's going really fast, but at 1/15th it's probably not?

Guest		02-Feb-2010 02:03
Love the movement and that the edce of the track is left in to show how steady the shot taken was

Fred Gary		02-Feb-2010 01:48

Guest		02-Feb-2010 01:47

Whooohoo! Chugachugachugachuga...Yep, I like it and I was hoping to see one of these on the way home but I didn't. Sure love yours!

Jola Dziubinska		02-Feb-2010 01:00
Really fast, whooo-hooo!

Laryl		02-Feb-2010 00:14
as the boys would say.. Choo Choo!! good one

Leo		02-Feb-2010 00:05
Wonderful motion shot! Is that graffiti on the cars? For some reason everything is blurry...

Excellent, love the motion blur... you would have plenty of time to get this shot right, if I recall these freight trains are rreeeeeallly long :-)

carol j. phipps		01-Feb-2010 23:26
I'm right there, moving onward!

Stephanie		01-Feb-2010 22:48
This is a perfect shot for action! Wonderful compo!

Dennis Warren		01-Feb-2010 22:41
I sure wish the freights went that fast around here. Maybe I should try a slower shutter speed!

Barbara Heide		01-Feb-2010 22:26
superb catch of this speedy train!

Brenda		01-Feb-2010 22:07
Faster than a speeding bullet! Love this shot. I can imagine standing there as it zooms by me.
