That's an incredible shot Frank. Well done.

I'll second that and vote for a PCA.

I was wondering if anyone would be able to get a high speed crash into untouched, ice covered snow. The southbound Adirondack just out of Canada fits this perfectly. Nice shot!

Beautiful shot. With flights canceled and vehicles stuck in snow, the trains just kept on running.

One awesome snow action shot Frank!

You captured this one perfectly. Nice job Frank.

Catching a high-speed train hitting a virgin snowdrift in full sunshine is pure luck, but capturing an image such as this is pure genius. This shot screams "IMPACT" in every conceivable way. Well done! PCA coming your way.

Just one word sums it up: WOW

| Posted by Mitch Goldman on December 17, 2007 | |
Wow! A passed by the thumb, but glad I came back to it.
Phenominal stop action - can't recall ever seeing anything like it.

That's just awesome! Snow chunks flying at your lense * * * * * *

Awesome shot!!

A great idea, and wonderfully dramatic shot Frank. Very nice. Definitely POTW material, and a PC nominee.
The other thing I love is it demonstrates one of the cardinal laws of railfanning: The best photos are always the ones where after the train passes, your up to your waist in something, laughing and wondering what the heck you were thinking. Hehe.
Excellent image!!

Fantastic shot.

Sweet detail. Pieces of snow flying everywhere.

Wow. Mission imposible? No. :-) Fantastic shot, Frank. Very good. :-)

Great, wow, awesome and a dozen of other similar synonyms. Sure, luck involved, but, still you were ready to very well document a moment. And then you did it. How did you survive? What position to the rails were you? How well and safe was the engineer. Is this a safe operation. What distance was the snow-ice pack this deep? How did the loco's windshield wiper blades survive. Etc. Anyway, congrats and thanks.

I wonder what that looked like from inside the cab.

A snow explosion. Nice shot.

That's superb! Now where is the train going from here... I'm guessing to your right?
|
| Posted by Nscalemike on December 18, 2007 | |
Superb image and effort. I presume your camera survived?

Fandamntastic! PCA

Wonderful! Snow is one of so many factor that can interrupt any transportation except train.

Dare I ask what the shutter speed was to "freeze" the snow like that?

Awesome picture and view Frank.Well done Frank.Thanks for share and great job.

You have my PCA vote and I will also second everything everyone else has said about this great shot.
|

I caught this unit three days later, my shot wasn't this good though!
|

Superb action photo Frank. This is a trully spectacular photo.
|

Wonderful shot, but what happened with the camera?
|
| Posted by Ross Fotheringham on December 29, 2008 | |
DAMN! No wonder the front of those units are always dented! Glad this made PC as I would have missed it otherwise.
