...5283 passes me by...pulling a string of flat cars with truck trailers going somewhere north of Seattle.
It just dawned on me, I should be wishing you all Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays AND that I probably should have saved this upload/title for New Years...:)

Great capture, Bill I see that this was just a pull

Excellent progression of shots, Bill; wonder what the driver was thinking about you and your camera? Happy holidays to you and Tara, and all your loved ones!

No, Bill. This is very fitting. I've associated Christmas gift time with trains. They come with goods, or gifts, if you so will. My first HO train was a Gilbert set, Christmas 1957. A switcher locomotive, two cars, and little red caboose. It ran around the foot of the tree all Christmas - New Years. After that, father made a 3 X 6 train board over his bed. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! :-)

Beautiful shots!!

Excellent sequence, Bill, I can almost feel the wind from the train and hear the wheels clickedy-clicking.

What a good idea to show this progression! That's such an amazing view. How many people can stand on the beach and take pictures of a train passing by just above their heads? You got a nice shot of the wreck in frame four, too. Nice work!

Great series, thank you! @MrsRatbag: drivers do know about our hobby, and they're usually very nice. If you wave at them, they wave back, or even give a short signal with the whistle. I've only met one not-so-nice driver over the years: he switched on the tail lights at the front of the engine, on purpose, thus making the shot worthless.

This is beautiful, I love of course the ones the most with the ocean and the trees, but all great. I wish you a Merry Christmas and the best in the coming year ahead. Have a very Merry Christmas

Dang, Bill, you look like you were close enough for that train to part your hair on the other side of your head! Wooosh, indeed! :-D Excellent series of train photos! Hope you and Tara have a wonderful, warm and of course, very MERRY Christmas!!

CLOSE is right, if this stellar collage is any indication, Bill. Love that locomotive. I've got some train shots in my files, but they're not as nice as yours because the cars in my pics have been the targets of graffiti artists, which make them unglamorous. And you can wish us all Happy Holidays on New Year's Day, lol.

Cheers for Christmas, Bill. Great train sequence. I still miss seeing a caboose. The "end of train device" doesn't do it for me.

Great sequence Bill, it's the first time I've seen containers still on their trailers loaded on flatbeds.

a powerful, beautiful montage, with really powerful captures, capturing the mass & terrifying beauty of these beasts, and with real clarity and romantic light, and with the rough & powerful terrain that they're roaring over in clarity too. The last shot is amazing, because we get to see the smaller size of these cars as well as the separation between them. And it looks like you were pretty close! If you were, you have to have nerves of steel to get these shots. Even in a zoom, it's still a pretty overpowering sight. Your love for trains shows here. A beautiful primal capture with lots of formal detail to give it grace.
