Well, first car was a 1993 Citroen ZX 1.9 Diesel - great little car that, manual everything so weighed almost nothing and went like a rocket. Head gasket failure killed that one so now I'm driving a 1996 Land Rover Discovery - 300TDI engine, manual transmission, pulls like a train when you get the hang of driving it. Chasing trains over here is more about making sure you're in position to take photos then moving well ahead of it again - as Hugh said, they move too fast to drive alongside taking photos and there's not usually a road directly alongside the line. Having said that, I frequently pace the local passenger service out of town - they're only doing about 50MPH which isn't a problem...
