That is a very very long train! I didn't know there are trains that long. But i can't imagine why they have to make the path circuitous, not just a straight or with a few curves! I wonder if there are architectural or energy explanations for those. I will do it as straight as possible for efficiency, i suppose.
I love this wonderful picture showing Colorado's charms ... as well as a terrific train. (We grew up and spent our first few years together in Asotin County, Washington, one of the few counties (maybe the only one, for all I know) that has NO railroad tracks. So, for this reason I guess, we are still fairly fascinated with trains and even usually don't mind waiting at RR crossings.
Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment - I love reading them and look forward to viewing your blog. If you only allow Google+ comments I won't be able to leave a comment in return.
That train is really amazing. It must be really long the fact it is so small and so long I can only imagine how huge it is up close.
ReplyDeleteI never saw a train like this one.... Regards from Italy.

ReplyDeleteMy husband love trains and he liked so much that picture!
Thanks for your comment on Homeless and Pets. My lovely and so missed Flora inspire me to do that post.
what a cool shot. pretty neat timing too.
ReplyDeleteThat's a cool shot. I worked in Wyoming two summers for coal mines, and used to see those long coal trains all the time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo! I love it.
ReplyDeleteDoes it bite? Is it lethal? That head looks vicious.
ReplyDeleteDon't think I would like to wait at a level crossing for it to pass.
Oh! How nice! You clicked at the right time! It does look like a snake!

ReplyDeleteA lovely scene!
ReplyDeleteThey're so long now!! Boom, Bobbi and Gary.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful view.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photo Al!
ReplyDeleteI see long trains all the time in the desert, but they don't usually snake around like this. It is beautiful...
Great shot. I like it
ReplyDeleteOh, this is extraordinary! And the railway runs diagonally to the road, how fun! Makes me start to wonder, which was built first?... :)
