As I was heading into work on Tuesday, I took my mostly normal route. It will take me by the tracks in the hopes of catching a train.
And it actually worked on Tuesday as I saw a pair of Ann Arbor Railroad engines waiting at the Pittsfield Yard. I'm not sure what they were doing though.
I've always wanted to get a shot of a train with leading lines but generally the only leading lines for a train are the tracks. Given the situation of the tracks at this place, I didn't feel unsafe standing where I was. Behind me there is about a 100 feet of tracks. The two engines were stopped so I didn't have to worry about a train in front of me. Plus I was shooting with a telephoto, so I would have time if something happened. I was also standing at the crossing.
Normally it is not a good idea to be on the tracks though. Unless you are a train or in a train.
The train didn't move though, otherwise I might have tried to catch it elsewhere.
