Any man who doesn't have a certain fascination with big trains... I don't entirely trust.

Here's two Dutch trains. The humped models are called 'Koplopers'. The other train is a Mat '64, one of only three still running, last time I heard.

Thanks for the reminder - I'll try to get trackside, I've been bad lately.

There's a display of historic rail equipment at Grand Central this weekend; I'll be down there on Sunday and hopefully will have a chance to get some photos.

Ah, should be a fun day. I'm hoping to make it to our local depot, do some shooting, and win some raffled tickets on Amtrak!
