I can't help it if I'm an avid railfan, and a lot of places I got to photograph cars have train tracks nearby :-)
This is kinda exciting for me, this is a few miles from my house, up untill about 5 years ago, this section of track was practiacly abandoned, they replaced the old bolt-together sectional track w/ welded rail, and now there's dozens of trains a week going by

This one gets used a few times a week, most of the stuff is for the big computer monitor plant up in State College, they get doezens of cars of silica powder a week, this is the coal run to the powerplant, happens about every week

I like trains. I worked for Penn Central -- which later became ConRail -- back in the early 70s... We've got a track just a block from our house but it only connects a factory to a switchyard so it doesn't get a lot of traffic.

Denzel Washington was sadly, not at the controls.
FUN FACT: Parts of the movie "Unstoppable" were filmed along this very line last year
