 I went to this track thinking that I was going to have to wait for ages to see any trains. On the road I saw a train just standing on of the tracks. I jumped out of the car and went a bit beserk taking pictures of it. And the guys who're sitting there told me they could see a train coming and soon enough I saw the smoke as well. Yet again I went a bit crazy clicking. I have a whole series of images of how the train approached us.

There is absolutely no concern for safety.. at all. Kids were playing cricket on the very track this train is going over. It's insane.

While it didn't take much to edit this image this way I was hoping I could get more out of it but I messed up the image while I was clicking like a lunatic... so yeah.

I hope it doesn't do too badly.

It makes me think of the plight of the illegal aliens along the Texas border. So many people are up in arms and want to send them all back, but would YOU want to live in Mexico with the way it's run? (sorry for the political rant) I like the slightly diagonal line of the tracks and how the three men are gazing at the train, maybe dreaming of getting on and going somewhere better.

All those leading lines really help your eye see through the scene. I feel as though I'm sitting on those tracks with them. Nice shot
