Very nice... I didn't realize their track was this overgrown.

That must be one heck of a ride along those tracks. A fully loaded tanker would tend too bring the heart to stop and a few tense moments I am sure. Whats the limit, 5 MPH.
|
Great shot, but my teeth shivered a bit when looking at those rails and reading the words "ethanol loads"
|
I don't think I'd want to be in the cab, considering how uneven that track is.

I hear James Bond saying shaken, not stirred. This shot reminds me of my truck driving days though, thanks for the memories and great capture
|
Even hazmat isn't much of a hazard at 5, 10 MPH. A derailment at that speed isn't very likely to overturn, accordion, or puncture a tank.
|
Great shot! Very good use of the sun.
|
Boy you are right, you did get some nice stuff on Friday. Hopefully I can get out there and do the same. Nice shot!
|
I've seen trains in fields, but this is rediculous. Excellent shot.
|
John, I was going to comment on how much I liked this photo before. Glad to see it is POW.

Wow, that is bumpy ride.
Great shot John.
|
Spaghetti Rail.
|
Gives new meaning to the phrase "Rock & Roll"! Congratulations on POTW John, well deserved.
|
They need a major track repair job.
|
Somebody call MOW 911! Wow if I came across those tracks I would have sworn they were out of service!
|
Awesome shot. I'd like to see a video of this line to see how much the train rocks.
|
What is the speed limit on the line?
|
Its hard to believe those tracks are even capable of supporting 100s of tons of locomotive and freight cars. Nice shot.
|
Great shot! The trackage doesn't seem to be able to support any heavy freight....but the overgrown grass on the track adds a better touch to the photo.
