October 26, 200618 yr hey cool, very stand by me. did you get to see the body at the end of the line?
October 26, 200618 yr nice pix! Amazing how railroad tracks really lend themselves to forced perspectives and different lighting. Liked the one with the locomotive in the foreground in front of the skyline. Well done.
October 26, 200618 yr Great shots! I watch trains on those West Side tracks from my window in Leveque Tower. Now I can see how Leveque looks from trackside.
October 26, 200618 yr You been trespassin'! Expect a visit from Homeland Security! Good shots. Those railroad bridges give some of the best downtown views.
October 26, 200618 yr I agree with Noozer. The forced perspective in those photos make them very urban-artsy. Nice work. Funny you should be putting these photos out now. I edit the Ohio Passenger Rail News, and we're going with a new style for the newsletter's masthead... Each issue will have have a different background showing tracks heading into a different Ohio city skyline. Doesn't matter if the city is big or small, as long as there's a recognizable landmark(s) in the distance or next to the tracks. The point of this is to show that Ohio has the tracks to link its cities together by passenger trains. And they can't be "crappy" tracks either, but high-quality mainline tracks. I would prefer that no trains be visible or, if they are, keep them in the distance. Just keep those photos sharp and bright! PM me if you'd like to know more or to try your hand at it.

November 6, 200618 yr Clevelumbus, I have to say that I am really impressed with these photos. It offers an entirely different and fresh perspective of the city skyline. It reminds me of when I was younger, how I would cross the railroad tracks near my home off Norton Rd and look down the line toward the skyline. When I was younger, I was always on the lookout for views of the city skyline. The last one there is pretty amazing, I really like the new view that 670 offers of the skyline. Also, is it me or does that last picture make it look like Columbus is set in the Florida Everglades?
