I caught this small local yesterday starting out from the Calais (Maine) industrial park and heading toward the Domtar paper mill is Baileyville (Woodland) Maine. Larger images are available on RailImages. Not moving yet. This is looking the other way toward Calais: Just starting out: This line parallels the US/Canada border. The train is in the United States, while the trees that you see just about 50 feet behind the train are in New Brunswick Canada. Moving up-river away from me: Here's the back end: The trees in front of the train are in the US but the next layer of taller trees are in Canada. This is as far as I could go and see the train for several miles as it disappears behind trees and the border patrol takes a dim view of getting too close: More when I see anything. Charlie
Neat shots, Charlie! A camera that's a bit more sophisticated helps, but composition, light, and scenery is what makes a shot spectacular. If I took this hot ith a 110 film camera, it would prolly turn out almost as nice as the digital version:
Looks like they keep their track work to a minimum. I notice that there seems to be a hint of Fall coming on. Soon you'll have spectacular colors with which to frame those trains. Boxcab E50
Good start, Charlie, and it will get even better as you get used to the new camera. I have had my newest camera for two years now. I am still learning more about some of its features.
Lovely shots of rural railroading, Charlie. I am getting to like this sort of thing as a change from the mainline action
The Guilford hi noses make me miss the old days when B&M and MEC Geeps were the rule. Took this one saturday at Danville Jct.
Rural, branchline/shortline railroading.......welcome to my favorite railfanning subject! Nice shots, Charlie!
