You can't see it, but I have a 500mm lens looking north. This was taken near Roanoke, Va, last weekend.

Actually, I see two trains facing each other... which makes that topic even more interesting... And did I say that henceforth Putz wants to be called Roberta?

Well, lets try a rope-pulling contest: a train pulls against a plane, lets see who will win
But then, I am too rather fond of the freedom of flying than the restriction of rails. But I wouldn't call myself a "spotter"
And I don't like to take photographs. I've been in London, Paris and Rome, and I have not made one single photo, it distracts too much from the actual experience of being there if you see everything through the camera (and even if not looking through it, you still see the things from a "could this be a photo" perspective)... The only Photo I have from london is a Polaroid of my host, Alicia, a lovely girl from the Sir Frances Bardsley School for Girls, and me

Who could pull more? Train wins. Two 6,250 HP AC6000's--typical power for a high-speed intermodal train--(155,000lb of Tractive Effort each) vs. a Boeing 777 (98,000lb of thrust per engine).
Specs say the train will win.
And European Railroads are boring compared to American ones...since ours are more freight-oriented...things are just more interesting to watch.

Well if you want to go with specs how many trains have reached the edge of space?
How many have travelled beyond 2 times the speed of sound
how many have crossed the atlantic

How mnay times have you been to space? Travelled 2x the speed of sound? Never...

Troels you have teased people in the show a pic of yourself thread in all forums RO has had...
...and still you have never posted a pic of yourself.
Let's make a deal post a pic of yourself or I start deleating all your posts in this thread.

But Troels is the Faceless Menace...
(By which I mean he doesn't want to show us what he looks like because he's all small and skinny and Danish.)
(Bacon-eater.)

I'm not teasing people because of how they look, I was teasing PUTZ because a train loses to a plane in a dogfight. If my memory serves me correctly I've never said anything but positive things about people and their pictures.
And yes - I am the faceless menace, the clown with the tear-away face, here in a flash and gone without a trace.

Steel heavier than Aluminum...waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay heavier in fact. A fully loaded plane would not knock over a fully loaded train (I'll stick with coal here, as they are 15,000+ tons each). For the simple fact that a loaded train is 2+ MILES long. It would only take out a small section...but whatever. D:
