More neat stuff there @Needa. The Circle K image will be of historical interest someday with its fuel prices and perhaps captures of gas stations in an EV future.

Love the Burger King shot with its lighting, colors and textures. It also captures an Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks" painting feel. Who'd have thought a Burger King could be so intriguing? (y)

Entry 2 - Posted this in the Post your Train shots! thread, but I'll also place it here.

This afternoon's Norfolk Southern Train 15R headed by a special "Heritage Locomotive" and a Burlington Northern Santa Fe plus a regular paint Norfolk Southern locomotive trailing. Quite the colorful assembly of locomotives on a gray day. [D5100]

Here's a replacement shot from October 1980 at Bethlehem, PA. The train is on the former Lehigh Valley Railroad mainline. [Nikon EL-2, Kodachrome]

Yes, you're right. I try to not duplicate post, but sometimes I forget. I deleted my second post.

We almost have all five transportation modes covered with motor, air, rail and marine. All we need is a pipeline shot. :)

Audi TT RS maybe? A great shot of a fine car.

Today's NS train 15R in South Carolina with a Burlington Northern Santa Fe locomotive leading. A rare thing to see in these parts and on a lovely Sunday afternoon. [D5100]

Thank you @Marilynne . I'd surely forget to change my camera if it wasn't for your reminders. (y)

From December 1977 at Barrington IL, a railroad searchlight signal stands guard. I like the way that a hint of green in the signal lens and red in the diamond-shaped sign show in what's otherwise all black and white. Classic older signals such as these which varied in type from railroad to...

From January 1980 at Dossett, TN when coal was king on the Louisville & Nashville. The L&N is part of CSX today. [Nikon EL-2, Kodachrome]

This was the view to the west and on to the tunnels and summit at Gallitzin. The mainline here was four tracks at this time, but within several years, Conrail slimmed it down to three and it remains that way today. At the time, there also existed a secondary line up the mountain, less than a...

From July 1980 on the former Pennsylvania Railroad mainline west of Altoona at Bennington Curve, two Conrail SD-45s have completed their shove over the Allegheny summit and are starting downgrade. "Helper" locomotives such as these are assigned to mountainous districts to assist trains over...

Wow, your photos @crashton could all find a home in an automotive book. Just excellent. (y)

:D You have a VERY sharp eye my friend. You are spot on. I'd worked the previous summer for the Santa Fe in Chicago.
