Remember standing at the side of the RR tracks in NE Ohio as a kid waiting for that far-off telltale rumble and knowing one was going to pass soon - such excitement! You never quite outgrow that feeling...beautiful pano crop, details, colors and a wonderful expansive view...and I can still hear the rumble in my memory, Emile! :) #9520055
