<P mce_keep="true">My vote is for the Cartier Railway in Quebec. I flew into Montreal, and took a puddle-jumper through three take-offs & landings to get there (Seven Islands, Quebec), then on the morning of my train photography "hunt" I drove 1.5 hrs. north on a state highway through a national park, and for about the first 45 min. I didn't realize that the dirt road I was on actually <U>was</U> the state highway! A very, very remote and beautiful wilderness populated by bear, moose, elk, cougar, wolves, deer, etc., etc., and when I found a good spot to sit and wait, I waited 6 hrs before that northbound empty unit train came chugging along (but I got my shot and it's framed on my living room wall). </P> <P mce_keep="true">Where I was located, I made sure I was within a quick sprint's distance from the car (with the door unlocked and windows rolled-up), and I had a clear view to my front to see any creature approaching, and the forest behind me was covered in dried leaves so I could hear anything coming up that way. I figured if a bear or cougar got to me out there, my chances of meeting my Maker would be pretty good!</P>
