SEPTA Train 9759 Along the NEC
Author: PC1073

Seen pulling into Holmesburg Station, in the dark, haze, rain and general overall yuck.
I'm becoming more inclined to go get photos like these.  The mood, and overall presentation
is becoming more to my liking.  Feel free to go hard with opinions on these.  And, as a side note, 
the one I like more, and consider better lags pretty far behind on my Flickr page as far as likes 
and comments go.

Enjoy,

The first shot is great and an amazingly sharp image in such low light conditions.

Very well done. I also like the character and moody feel of the image. No such trains where I am in western Michigan, but it looks and feels today very much like your images. You captured the feeling and mood of the cold, gray, wintry damp perfectly.

Keep up the good work - and feel free to keep shooting like this. And sharing the images with us. Looking forward to more!

Curious what kind of glass you're using that a head-on view of a bright headlight in gloomy lighting doesn't produce a massive blob of white.

Shooting in weather like this is challenging to get a good photo. You are doing well in these elements. I also follow you on your Flickr site.

I like the photos because they show reality. Trains don't always operate on nice sunny days with everything just fine. They operate every day which means they jet the job done even in more difficult conditions. I enjoy the pictures that show reality.
