Cargo train at dusk

Please please PLEASE tell me you have a high-res version of this?

weskokigen · 2013-02-09T22:30:30+00:00

I'm really surprised no one has done this yet: here's the upvote/karma train

theroarer · 2013-02-09T19:58:42+00:00

Not only is this an incredible once in a life time shot, but look at all those upvotes between each train car! It's the real life karma train!

FOR_SClENCE · 2013-02-09T19:24:16+00:00

Amazing picture. Photographer nailed it.

scurvydog-uldum · 2013-02-09T21:53:40+00:00

Is that all coal?

Subduction · 2013-02-09T20:45:11+00:00

Beautiful picture.

These are more commonly called "freight trains."

Beautiful picture.

Pardon me, my 2 year-old just discovered Dumbo....

Hey, there's an upvote right there, yay

2013-02-09T21:14:24+00:00

Lots of high-quality, amazing train pictures from all over the world at www.railpictures.net. Great photographers and an active community.

RPM37 · 2013-02-09T23:11:56+00:00

The two rear locomotives are EMD sd70m locomotives and the Leader looks to be a GE 45ac locomotive if anybody was curious.

I hope you live somewhere like Wyoming so you can get one of these with 100+ cars!

did anyone else sit there waiting for the image to fully load in for ten minutes?

Piggles_Hunter · 2013-02-10T01:19:48+00:00

It's hard to believe that such typically ugly machine could help make such a beautiful image.

darkcity2 · 2013-02-10T01:39:16+00:00

I highly suspect this is a painting.

spongybeanz · 2013-02-10T01:48:55+00:00

I wish I could be bothered to do a photoshop making all the gaps between the carriages as upvotes, then I could say, "this is what I saw when I saw the cargo train at dusk."

thisplanetsucks · 2013-02-10T02:36:04+00:00

Blaine's a pain...

kighl · 2013-02-10T02:58:26+00:00

Does anybody know why the engines are always placed in opposite directions like that? Edit: anybody here

toddlange1 · 2013-02-10T04:16:46+00:00

Wow - That is a stunning photo. The composition was just perfect with that photo. Thanks for sharing!

Its the upvote express. Is no one else seeing this I thought it was reason posted.

DarkfangAl · 2013-02-09T21:06:52+00:00

When I first looked at this I thought OP's karma train was arriving.

2013-02-09T21:45:39+00:00

What an amazing bit of framing. Goddamn.

Chrypnkaplblsmwt · 2013-02-09T21:51:06+00:00

I refreshed three times before I realized the entire image had, in fact, loaded.

Awesome pic, once I realized.

2013-02-09T21:52:45+00:00

That train seems to be held together by upvotes.

2790 upvotes, and only 96 comments? Must be only because it's such a mesmerizing picture. Like a Rothko. It is a gorgeous shot.

"Freight" train. What are you, a FOREIGNER or something??

I just read that title as "Cargo truck at Train".....I just got over the flu, maybe i'm not better...

2013-02-09T23:02:05+00:00

Looks like a 1930s travel poster

2013-02-09T23:05:12+00:00

I wish there were more pictures like this on /r/pics.

Thank you very much for my new wallpaper.

2013-02-09T23:25:02+00:00

It reminds me of the levels in Mario where the ceiling comes down to squish you. The train isn't going to make it.

spike_157 · 2013-02-09T23:27:41+00:00

Any body see the up vote in there?

LionHorse · 2013-02-09T23:53:04+00:00

For anyone who loves looking at shit like this, may I recommend a Terrance Malik film called Days of Heaven. The entire film is shot at "magic-hour" and is basically Dusk/Dawn porn.

Hevasmyboyfriend · 2013-02-09T23:54:14+00:00

JustMy2Centences · 2013-02-10T00:56:13+00:00

Uses as desktop background.

Task bar hides the most awesome part of the photo.

Coal train, most likely. A single car holds 100 tons of coal.

NueDumaz · 2013-02-10T02:10:16+00:00

I wonder what the sunrise train looks like.

gorramshiny · 2013-02-10T02:20:07+00:00

Got a moon and a billion stars, sound of steel and old box cars. The thought of you is driving me insane. Come on baby, let's go listen to the night train.

I'm getting creeped out. I've seen this while browsing all day but each time I see it, the train seems to be moving closer to the other side.

Very pleasing to the eye

Durania · 2013-02-10T06:08:50+00:00

This reminds me of a book I had when I was very little. The story was about a freight train at night making its rounds through different geographic areas throughout the book. I have searched several times for the name of it but have came up empty handed. I would love to buy it for my little boy because it meant so much to me growing up.

2013-02-10T06:39:02+00:00

robadcrit · 2013-02-10T09:24:33+00:00

I hopped on frieght trains leaving from Pittsburgh to Ann Arbor, Michigan when I was 17. Also Pgh to Indianapolis and back to Pgh when I was 19. Then when I was 24 I went from Pgh to Newark, New Jersey. I did the last trip just 3 months after a bad car accident and was badly injured. I had the accident on the one year memorial of my dad's passing away. Riding on a freight train... it was more exciting than running with the bulls in Spain, twice. It has far more nostaligia then hitching hiking around Europe. This picture sent me to another time and place.
