My reputation as a published rail photographer speaks for itself. Railfan and Railroad February 2005 is the most recent. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Jimitrain, <br /> <br />Why no response? <br /> <br />I wouldn't get too caught up in your reputation if I were you. No one on here is immune from being called out. People call out my legal knowledge all of the time, I explain to them why either they are wrong or why I was mistaken--as I know I am not above being called out. Heck, people call out Mark Hemphill all of the time. If he isn't immune from being called out, no one is. <br /> <br />On the merits, it is an absolutely beautiful picture. But, what about the above points? And did you have a radar gun? How could you tell it was going 70 mph? <br />Finally, if it were going that fast, wouldn't the engines be reving pretty hard--if we couldn't see smoke, wouldn't we at least be able to see the "waivy" looking discoloration from the heat of the engines? <br /> <br />I am not calling you out, I just assume you have an answer to these questions. <br /> <br />Gabe <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br />Thank you for your kind words on my photo, Gabe. I didn't have a radar gun, but the track speed is 70 MPH. My father was an ex-engineer. I'll just have to take his word for it.
