Across the frozen north on the Empire Builder; thru Minot, Wolf Point, and Havre
The Columbia River, Portland, and Sacramento Amtrak Sation
SE Utah and Western Colorado from the California Zephyr
Transiting the snowy Sierra Nevada's, and through the canyons of the Rocky's

Thanks - they are certainly very interesting. Particularly liked the snow scenes. For people like me (who have not yet been lucky to visit the USA) a few titles might have added to the interest but, then, I'm just picky!

Ooops. Sorry about that. I did insert some general title info for each block of pictures. Hope it helps?

Nice pics ! Got any tips for shooting from a train ? My photos have always been spoiled by reflections off of the windows.

From the 1987 movie 'The Untouchables' with Kevin Costner, Sean Connery. Indeed they are...nice catch.

I usually use my hand to cup the area around the camera lens, keeping it very close to or on the window.
