Posted by BNSF SAMMY on January 27, 2007  A different perspective on the Loop. Nice work! Posted by John Fladung on January 27, 2007  WOW! This is unreal! Great job! Posted by Snowy on January 27, 2007  What an awesome shot!! Good work Posted by Stephen Jones on January 27, 2007  That's a fantastic shot. It's certainly nice to see the loop from a different perspective! Posted by Nick McLean on January 27, 2007  now that's neat! Posted by Pat Lorenz on January 27, 2007  Nice, a different and probably the most one of a kind perspectives of the loop, really cool shot. Posted by Stuart Ranier on January 27, 2007  Wow!!! That is amazing. Posted by Dean Kaplan on January 27, 2007  Ok that is an awesome shot Chris!!!! Posted by Brian P. Bennett on January 28, 2007  Someone must be doing an Edwards Business Effort...Just got to Altus. Nice shoot, dude. Very cool. Posted by Chris Paulhamus on January 28, 2007  That's correct...a little Isabella action puts you in the right spot. F-22s and The Loop make for a pretty nice day! Posted by TheTeenageRailfan on January 28, 2007  Amazing shot! Too bad there couldnt have been a train going around the loop at the time. Does anyone happen to know the track elevation difference between the left side of the photo and the right side? Posted by Mike G on January 28, 2007  What a fantastic shot! It gives a different perspective of this magnificent place. Totally awesome. Posted by Tom Michele on January 28, 2007  Wow! What a DIFFERENT view I have never seen about a most well-known site. Simple, but very well done. Thanks. Posted by Ray Peacock heartlandrails.com on January 31, 2007  Wow...who's property is that on the left side of the loop? Posted by Nscalemike on February 2, 2007  Ray that should be the "Loop Ranch". Not sure who the owners are..but its been there for years. Posted by Gary H on February 8, 2007  Fantastic shot of one of the greatest spots on Earth! According to the online USGS topo maps, the rail line is at an elevation of ~2900 ft at the right side of the photo, climbing to ~3140 ft at the left (just past Tunnel 10). The distance covered is 0.8 miles as the crow flies, but 2.4 rail miles, consistent with a mean grade of just under 2%. Beyond the Loop itself, it is the relentless curvature, the many segments of single track, and the two railroads in operation that makes this line so special. Posted by George Hull on February 24, 2007  Very nice picture. I thought I would point out that if you look at the detailed photo history you have 50 views from the Taiwan Train Society! You have gone international.
