[Richard Waas]

I hear that this is one of Al Forns favorite places to visit, so I thought I'd post a 7 image HDR from the Goldcoast Train Museum. Hope you like it Al. Canon 5D MK II, ISO 200, f/2.8, EF16-35mm f/2.8 IS II USM, 31mm, Evaluative Metering, Auto Exposure, Auto WB, No Flash. Comments Welcome....

By the way, "No Smoking" in the Smoking Car

Great HDR of a piece of Americana. I just had to put the old girl back on the open road once more. :o

I remember as a small boy riding on the Powhatan Arrow, which was the flagship train of the Norfolk & Western Railway. I would walk back to the club car and and stand at that back door, watching mesmerized as the track unwound behind the train. People who never rode a real passenger train will never know what an experience they missed: dining cars with white linen table cloths, fresh cut flowers on the tables, heavy silverware, and some of the finest food you ever tasted, cooked in tiny, immaculate kitchens right on the train.
