My first experience with trackcars came in May of 2005 when the members of the New England Railcar Association hosted a run on the New England Central Railroad. Here a portion of the group is passing through Montville, CT heading south to New London. At New London, they'd turn and head back north towards Willimantic, where they started the day. Taken on May 15, 2005
The Number 3 express train speeding through the Wall Street Station in New York City.
I mounted the camera on a Gorillapod sitting on the platform, locked up the mirror, set my flash to second curtain, and triggered the shutter remotely for a half-second exposure.
37685 'Loch Arkaig' and 37668 haul the diesel leg of the Scarborough Spa Express through Kirkstall Forge.
Perhaps this selfish idiot is now part of another shocking statistic!
The driver of this vehicle overtook me as I did exactly 50mph in a 50mph roadwork zone, monitored by average speed cameras. I would estimate that it was travelling at around 55-60mph.
.
Background information:
A section of long-term roadworks on the motorway with a 50mph speed restriction in force and monitored by average speed cameras. Due to the hard shoulder and part of lane 1 being blocked off, the three running lanes have all been narrowed, and there is only a couple of feet (c. 60cm) between vehicles travelling side-by-side.
Like myself, the majority of drivers observe the 50mph speed limit, which is in force in order to help ensure the safety of road users and workmen alike, as with vehicles travelling so close to each other there is an increased risk of collisions.
However, there are always a few (quite a few, it seems) drivers who regard the rules of the road as applying to everyone but them. These ignorant drivers travel through the restricted area in excess of the legally enforceable speed limit and in spite of the fact that their law-breaking is being measured and captured by the cameras. Do they really think that they will escape unpunished? Or are they displaying false registration plates, so they know they will not be held accountable for their inconsiderate and anti-social driving?
So I hereby present photographic identification of vehicles that passed me today as I drove along the restricted section of motorway at exactly 50mph (cruise control active). Thus, by default, each of these drivers was exceeding the legal speed limit and as such breaking the law.
Note: Images were captured using a camera fixed to the dashboard of my car and activated by way of a remote control unit attached to my steering wheel, thus allowing me to activate the camera without removing my eyes from the road ahead. The camera was configured to capture a wide field of vision, and images were cropped afterwards to centralise the relevant vehicles.

In the middle of empty grain CN train No. 834, a interesting grain car the has "Grain Porter 2000" on the side. Does anyone happen to know the history of this car?
Whenever I can, I like to get down low when I'm taking photos of the dogs, as you get a whole new perspective from their level. This backfired on me a little.... Abby saw me sitting down on the beach when she came barrelling out of the lake at top speed and decided I must be waiting for her to come play. So, just in case anyone is wondering what it looks like just milliseconds before getting body-slammed by the world's happiest yellow lab, with wet fur, sand and doggy drool flying everywhere, this is it. No cameras were harmed in the making of this photograph....but it was close!
Her Pookness had enough of this cold white walking and gained speed rapidly as we returned to the house. This is not a “good” picture, but Pook in Action during this enervating winter is a must see. Today there are 3 pookalicious shots.
I'm using a slow shutter speed to try to capture just how fast Jake runs. I may have overdone it.
Week #6 in 52½ weeks of 2009: motion/movement
For some reason the EXIF didn't get uploaded with this photo. Here are some stats:
Shutter: 1/30
Aperture: f/20
Focal length: 175mm (260mm equiv)
This car is northbound too. The road is parallel to the rail at this point -- for about 5 kilometers. My GPS tracker says I'm about 200 Kph. Since the car is not moving relative to me -- using a little physics tells you that this car is also 200Kph.
Taken somewhere in the Netherlands.

Hood ornament on a 1957 Chevy Belaire, found at
the Shine Car, Truck & Bike Show had over 100 vehicles registered for the event. :-)
>>In addition to providing fun for car enthusiasts, the show raises money to benefit local causes. Marion said it is a tradition to use a portion of the proceeds to benefit local needy families at Christmas. He added that prizes will be given away throughout the day as well as door prizes. Live music will be provided again this year by the group Yesterday Lane.<<
