Posted by Bicot (Marc Caya) on January 28, 2007  Excellent shot Dave; this is something really different for a change. Posted by Tony DeSeta on January 28, 2007  Dave, I really like this photo! I`ve never seen a shot of a ballast cleaner in action before like this one,and I am interested in the people and the machines that keep the lines open,and the freight rolling. Great job, Best Regards, Tony D. Posted by BNSF SAMMY on January 28, 2007  Awesome shot! Posted by Mitch Goldman on January 28, 2007  Cool scene, Dave! and... technically very well done ; ). The dust /fog is cool but the icing is the stopped action ballast mid-flight. Posted by Mike Bjork on January 28, 2007  Great working shot. I like the RR employee sitting at the edge of the frame resting, it adds a great human element to the shot. Those things sure are impressive to see in action! Posted by Bob Avery on January 29, 2007  Most impressive. Most of us would just go away if we saw one of these things working. Posted by cjr3559 on January 29, 2007  Great shot, just remember to put your lens cap on when finished. Posted by David Brook on January 29, 2007  A "career" shot Dave. Excellent! Posted by Tom Michele on January 30, 2007  Hoooooly Cow! Different. Really different. Hints at a story. Strong hints. Behind the scenes is part of the whole picture. Nice job. Posted by Janet Cottrell on January 30, 2007  Great shot of an unsung and mostly unseen part of railroading. Posted by Tired Old Hobo on January 31, 2007  It wouldn't be a Railroad with out the rails!!!!! Great Photo. Posted by Gregory Weirich on February 1, 2007  I love it. I hope your camera didn't get coated with dust. Posted by Warren on February 4, 2007  This could be featured on "Dirty Jobs" on the Discovery Channel!!
