This one came through the area a couple of years ago. I shot a couple rolls of B&W film through my medium format camera. This pic came out pretty good.

One of my fantasies is we'd go on a national program to build high speed, elevated mag lev trains using the interstate highway rights of way. It would be great to be able to travel this way all across the country.
