Freight Train along the Hudson River (in explore)

Rapidly passing by Poughkeepsie, New york and the FDR Bridge. The train appears suddenly here around the corner and from this side you must back away as far as you can to the shoreline of the river, which isn't far. The noise, the vibration and the wind from the huge rushing train is very impressive, even making ripples and waves in the water nearby. (I added a canvas texture to the finished photograph)

I was asked to write the story behind my speeding freight train experience for jpics' Photo Stories blog. You can see it and other stories and photos at jpics.blog.com/
