    My favorite due to the way designs created by all the catenary equipment:

    I'd never realized just how closely spaced they placed those catenary support poles.

    :D

    Somehow, your shots make the Acela look good, and I'm not a fan of the high-speed-train look.

    Boxcab - Maybe is it a local or East Coast thing. Could be wider in less congested areas or along straight track. I think along a curve you would need more to keep it centered.

    Triplex, Thanks! Maybe because they are not perfect shots. Always something in the way. Sorta slows them down. Providence in particular these trans were moving quite slow.
