Very cool idea indeed.  Here are some of my favorites that I've taken over the years.

Nothing profound or historical, just my favorite .....

One of the best I've seen. Great photos.

One More for consideration, this is in Spencer, NC with all of 20 NS heritage units together:

I like this photo Robert! Makes it look either a steam or diesel coming. But you can see it a diesel. Either way, great picture.

There are some fine photos in this thread.  

Thanks for getting it started, Rob.

I have a lot of favorites.  

Oh boy! There some stunning photos on this thread.

I really appreciate photos of railroad people at work.

The QA&P museum in Quanah, TX features a photo album full of photography of railroad men and women at work on the QA&P property taken candidly by one of the former employees...images that have otherwise never been published in any magazine or online site.  It really brings back a feeling of the days when you were marked up on the board of your home road.

Thank you for all the responses...they are outstanding to all of us.

This one! A worn out FA-1 at speed by J. Parker Lamb

I snapped these of London Bridge station from the top of the Shard, in where else?... London!

Some amazing photos here. 

Here are just a few I have taken over the years.  This is just a very small percentage of some of my favorites.  

But my favorite train photo of all time was taken in March when I took my son to see the 1225 come though Shephard, MI.  It was his 1st time seeing his favorite locomotive in person and we had an awesome day chasing here up to Clare.  

There's a photo I wish to heck I could find online to put here, but it's in b/w and of a grade crossing with two F or E units coming toward each other with a high-speed running meet, with the RR crossing sign almost exactly between them.

I think the phrase, "Once in a lifetime" doesn't do the photo justice. More like a "Once in a century" shot for all photographers, collectively.

I just wish I could find the shot I'm talking about. For a 'right place and right time' shot, I doubt anyone could ever beat it.

The photos in this thread are breath taking

I consider these photos to be the best I have taken so far... I am starting to sell them as either stretched canvas prints or framed if anyone is interested.

There's a whole lot more where these came from!

Quoting my father.....

"The best stationary boiler ever built!"

Some of my favs.

Two of my favorite...
