My brother likes trains so I take train photographs whenever I can. It's not hard since I live in Belen, New Mexico, the "Hub City". We have a switchyard and one of the original Harvey Houses.
The scenery in New Mexico makes a lovely backdrop for most subjects and trains are no exception.
A few years ago we got our commuter train, the Rail Runner. It's a pretty train painted with a road runner design. When the doors close it even says "Beep, beep". Too cool. it runs between Belen and Santa Fe, New Mexico. It lends itself to beautiful train photographs.
