Not doing anything for me.
I wouldn't have bothered shooting them...
if I made the mistake of doing so I'd have tossed them.
Half ass tags don't cut it with me.

#5&6 are the only ones that has some potential.
#5 needed to be framed different; the building is a distraction. There a very nice antique RR sign that should have been framed in the foreground.
#6 I like reflections off of rails, but that isn't grabbing anything with character... a train engine is cool but it tends to piss them off if they're moving.

Be very wary of active lines; they are dangerous as is walking tracks.
Double trouble.
UER already has had a very experienced FM killed shooting trains.
Another one was killed at a RR crossing in a car.
Both were good, outstanding young men that died far too soon.
I've screwed up my ribs bad on an active rail, another friend smack his head on them; we're both lucky we weren't killed by the fall alone or being run over while incapacitated on the rails
Yet another friend spent 2 weeks in the hospital with severe internal injuries and saw his two close friends killed trying to outrun a train on dirt bikes.
Never play on steel or underestimate what can happen; it happens very fast when it does.

This was taken by a friend of mine who works at the local rail yard. I am still amazed something this beautiful was painted on the side of a train car.

I hope she is still out there somewhere, riding the rails.
