That long, long Burlington Northern Santa Fe stack train is being pulled by four 4,400 horsepower diesel locomotives, with an additional two 3,600 horsepower engines pushing on the rear -- a total of 24,800 horses. The foreshortening of the long lens, to me, just adds even more brute force to the composition. The leading locomotive is less than a year old. Click for desktop-sized version.

Henry,
Trains are also a favorite subject of mine. Near where I live, there are two very interresting locations to watch trains. The Cajon pass and the Tehachapi loop where the trains actually have to go through a serious change in elevation. Google both places, if you don't already know about their existance.
