AMTRAK
Not having lived along a busy Amtrak corridor or been particularly drawn to the modern passenger train, I've not taken the opportunity to take many photos of Amtrak trains. Admittedly, back in my heavy photo-fanning days of the late 70's and 80's, passenger trains were generally only photographed if they came along while I was waiting for freight action. As usual, clicking on a thumbnail pic will take you to the larger version. Listed coordinates may denote approximate camera locations, not necessarily train locations. |
