Holiday Express, that is. I stopped by to drop off some donated train-themed Christmas cards and had to see this big steam engine one more time. My 4&1/2 loves steam engines, and I think it's rubbing off, too :biggrin: More info here:http://www.orhf.org/events/07holiday/index.html This is their big time of the year for the funddrive to hopefully someday gather enough money to house these one of a kind engines in their own roundhouse.

This runs through Sunday, and we'll be riding it at 3PM that day. I also hope to go back and score some more night shots if anyone else is interested in some quick shootin.'

Anyways, this is mostly for info purposes, but let me know what ya think of this one.

Stats: Canon 5D, 50 mm f/1.8 @2.8, CPL (oops), 2 secs(?), tripod, timer, MLU

This is sweet Kevin! My kids are loving it too, since we've been reading "The Polar Express" every night at bedtime :wink:

I wondered what I was hearing every night. Sounded like the ghost of Christmas past. I love the shot, says December Train calendar all over it.

Wow! I'll bet this would be impressive as a huge print.
