This series of pics were taken in Chesapeake Virginia. I used a Dakota camera with manual everything.

By this point in the route the locomotives have started building cruising speed and believe me the ground was rumbling.

Windsurfer757, your pictures are very nice. I kind of regret that I do not live in Norfolk Southern territory, otherwise I would be getting some nice photos of the same subject matter myself.

I work in the area and go by this stretch of track almost daily. 2 Inbound and 1-2 Outbound coal trains go thru there as well as a couple container trains. I caught this one 7 miles north going across the Elizabeth River at the same time I was in my car. It had yet to get to the speed it was going when it went by me in the pics, so I had a few minutes to get ahead of it. It was a cloudy drizzly day which bought out the black in the subject.

Thank you all for the positive comments.
