I know there's a forum for motorsports and transport...but there's so many pictures of cars and bikes going about 200 mph that I feel pretty silly posting these heavy, slow moving coal trains in that company! Photos taken in Bismarck, North Dakota.

Any and all comments welcome...

Choo Choo! Now those are serious trains. .. and great pics too. :thumbs:

[Halesowen Kid]

Serious pulling power with these locos.

Great pic's Hunter...:clap:

[hairy]

I like those :thumbs:
A picture postcard feel to the first one, but my favourite is the second, for being so 'in your face' :clap:

[Dark Star]

Love these - no 1 does it for me the lowish viewpoint and composition really appeal

Colours are great too!

[feek]

wow:agree::clap::clap::clap:

Nice :) #2 for me, you get a real feel for the size

[Tomas Whitehouse]

Number one for me, great composition and framing, very dynamic and super colours :thumbs:

:agree: 1st shot for me too, very nicely done :thumbs:
Maybe try adding a very fine stroke around your actual image in the same colour as the grass/front of train or white. The image is getting a tad too lost in the large border for me :thumbs:

[hunter20ga]

Thanks, everyone. Moomike...I'll give the finer stroke a try this evening when I've got a moment.

Trains aren't my thing but those are great shots. :thumbs:

Here's a slightly different crop of the first photo, but with a finer stroke than the first go-round, as per moomike's suggestion. I do like this better. Thanks for the help.:)
