    This is a popular spot to take pictures of the trains travelling through the mountins. I'm not a train type of guy but we came here just as a train was passing by.

    It does add a splash of colour though to an otherwise monochromatic scene.

    If the weather was like that here then the trains would probably be stopped from running. :rolleyes:

    It's a winter wonderland.
    One of the major rail lines runs through our little town and the trains seem to have got a longer lately.

    I think they hook up multiple cargos on trains these days. As for the picture it looks pretty awesome. We don't get trains that have more than 10 cars on them here, though when i lived in TX we always got them with 100 cars or more lol.

    Wow!!! That is a long and real heavy train. First time seeing two containers on each car, the engine must be real powerful!
