Hello Ike,
You were lucky that the locomotive was (probably) standing still, since you were moving. Otherwise it would have been a test of your panning skill. ;-) It's a nicely designed modern train and probably more environmentally friendly than your car. The photo is sharp and the light is well handled, especially considering the circumstances.
Best regards,
Gert

Bonjour, cher Ike,
Voilà une locomotive de course, la vitesse est impressionnante, je suppose que celle-ci est prévue pour le transport de marchandises diverses et variées !
Bravo pour la présentation.
Amitiés.

Hello Ike,
Good sharpness on the locomotive with the < shaped clamp connections to the electric grid resembling European trolley trams. Good timing too. Tfs!

Hi Ike,
are you shifting your interest from planes to trains? :)
I am very impressed hearing that the train was moving that fast. It is so perfectly sharp that I wouldn't be able to tell that it was moving at all.
It is probably less exciting that photographing planes as here you need to worry about the surrounding area like the fences etc and there is probably less variety of train colors? But maybe I am wrong about it...
Great capture,
M

Hello Ike,
This is a remarkably sharp photograph for a train moving at 60km/hr! Amazing!
It's well composed, too, with details of the safety fence below and electric connections above.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Ike,
A good and clear capture of this locomotive. You included the bit of green on both sides very well. The red and blue details look also good against the white parts.

Hello Ike,
Has Israel many railway lines? I moved around by bus (on an organized trip) and I haven't seen any railway station so I find it a bit surprising. Usually, we see the airplanes in your gallery. Do you use the trains sometimes? I am a fan of trains so I find it interesting. Good view of this locomotive.
Best regards Malgo

Hello Ike,
not the best light, of course, and a little narrow, but very interesting for me as TRAXX AC3 engines can be found on left and right Rhine lines as well, a real European locomotive. I could try to ambush one on the right bank, where they are prone to haul freight trains.
Have a good weekend!
Sven
