I chased CPR 2816 up the Fraser Canyon in BC once a few years back and attempted to take a few shots with my 4x5. This is one of the few that's close to being good (ie. no motion blur) In my opinion, shooting moving trains are great for a dslr, but not so good for a view camera!

That one was worth the effort.

Well, Jim, here is my train.

A mammoth plate print of a steam train in the Sierras -- at Cape Horn above the American River. By Watkins.

Just a quick digital capture while it is on my wall (and behind glass) -- keystoning due to an attempt to keep reflections to a minimim.

Holy cow. That is truly awesome. A Watkins not in a museum never crossed my mind. WOW! He must have been the original foamer

That's almost exactly what I was trying to do a couple of weeks ago. As winner of the November contest on a local forum, I named railroads for the December contest. I was just starting to get set up when I was told to get away from the tracks by a railworker. I didn't argue. I had to settle for this as my entry:

(it won)

This was taken near the Ford Rouge plant in Dearborn, Michigan. The temperature was below 0 deg that day.

I totally agree. But still it's a great photo. I'm hoping to do some 4x5's of SP 2472 when it runs again this year.

LOL, are you showing your real age? That spot is called Cape Horn and is on the Southern Pacific "Overland Route." Union Pacific had a nasty derailment there last year, so it's a good idea to be aware of your surroundings.

I agree, it is a winner. I really like the texture of the snow between the rails.

Very appropriate given the hard times Ford is on. Those boxcars look like they have seen better days.

Nice work gents!
