    Hey that's an interesting shoot ... waiting another second or two might have captured the "defining moment". I didn't know Ferrari made trains.

    This is a Norfolk Southern coming out of the USS Clairton Mill.

    To be honest I never knew the runner was in shot until after I got home...my eye was on the train. :D

    Ohhhhh geezz........heck that brings back childhood memories, gawwwwd, my brothers and I were forever playing on the railway lines when we were kids, how on earth we never got ran over is beyond me, cause we were only primary school aged kids too.

    Hopefully the boy had enough sense to get off the line......

    I retired early last year after working "36 long but happy years on the railroad" clap.gif

    It was a good feeling being so near the train,feeling the rumble, hearing the
    horn as it went by the crossing...weird to some but it felt like being back home to me. (but I don't miss working!)
    I was using the zoom lens so the train wasn't as close as it seems...he made it.

    Thanks Skippy so glad this brought back memories to you.
