    Here's one from a few years ago. The flared 70's were new stuff then.

    There is something to be said for that shot that ya just had to take even knowing how it might look.

    Sorry about that. I don't know the geography of NC that well, but isn't Raleigh on the opposite end on the state from Ashville? We must have passed through Raleigh, however, on Amtrak, sometime in the wee hours of the night.

    A silly thought, as I first saw this picture. Looked like a modern Atlantic Coast Line engine! Yes. I know it's not....

    I've posted this before. It's poor, I moved, but it sure is through the trees.

    Steve, nice location and photos.
    I was envying you having such quiet neighbors, i.e. NEC under wire, then I saw the T's F40 and thought "OOPS, there's always gotta be one noisy neighbor who'll disrupt the party." :eek:mg: :teeth:

    Acutaly it is the Amtrak "Regional" hauled by some double ended electric loco that shakes the ground _and_ the the air displacement shakes the building. In good weather conversation has to stop as the F40PHs pass if the windows are open.

    Over all Rrrr and I like them. There is something reasuring about the passage. Something comfortable.

    Hemi - the issue with your picture is that it is too "busy". What do you think of this:

    I can see that in just the right place on a wall.
