Snapped this shot this morning (about 7:00 am) while on my way to work. I pass over these tracks nearly every day, and have never encountered a train on them til today. I had thought this was an unused line, even. Guess I was wrong!

The image is taken almost directly out of my new cell phone, the LG enV. I did clean it up a bit, since there was a bit of noise in the image. I also strengthened the contrast a little, and there is a minor saturation adjustment to the color. Really, very little was done to the original image. No cropping or resizing, as the enV takes a 2 Mb picture. If anyone is curious, I can privide a link to the original image, for comparison. Until now, I always thought a camera on a phone was just silly, but now I'm rethinking that opinion.

Not a bad shot for a cell phone. Won't be long and we will be throwing away our DSLR's for high powered cell phone cameras and uploading them right from where we shot them.

Well let me start out with that if i had not know, i certanly would never have guessed that this image was taken with a phone..
The picture is just great, i love the image, and that the loco is not in the image fully adds strenght to the shot.
Do not be disappointed if replys are low, trains are not to populair here, i do know since i have posted some myself, for me, i like it a lot and thank you for the posting.

I agree with the above - having the locomotive going out of the frame is good - adds to the feeling of motion. Train shots are neat - we need more!

Nice engine there! I like trains, they've been places and they go places. There's a mystique about them, maybe even... poetic...
