At first, you only hear the wind, gently blowing through the treetops, the birds chirping... But then, you hear a distant rumble. The rails start singing, and before you know it, an eight thousand horsepower behemoth comes roaring around the corner, a mixed freight train, and a fast one too. That eardrum-splitting, apocalyptic sound of metal on metal, that infernal scream, overpowering all other sounds. But soon, the train has passed, the noise dies down to a distant rumble again... It's back to the sounds of nature.

Until that distant turns green.

More pics in my DSO thread as usual.

Ich muss sagen, das sieht sehr urtümlich aus! Ohne Schatten auf der Lok wäre es aber eigentlich besser gewesen. Vielleicht ist das zu einer anderen Tageszeit möglich?

Ja, der Schatten stört was, aber die waren nur schwer vorauszusehen. Leider ist es immer Glück, ob eine interessante Lok, oder mal wieder Drehstrom vorbeikommt, daher stehe ich eher ungern länger an solch wenig befahrenen Strecken.

Really awesome shot! :D :thumbsup:

Any special reason to be with the front pantograph lifted and not the rear one?

Thanks! :)

When towing locomotives, cab cars, or hazardous/sensitive goods, the front pantograph is raised to prevent sparks from landing on the loco's/cab car's windscreen or the hazardous/sensitive goods. In this case, there are tank cars behind the locomotive.
