‘The Lancastrian’ at East Lancashire Railway in b+w. Also added a vignette which I think makes the loco stand out a bit more.

Panic attacks are unexpected, isolated periods of intense anxiety, fear and distress that are associated with a range of somatic and cognitive symptoms. The onset of these episodes is usually sudden, and may have no apparent start. Although these episodes may appear accidental, they are considered to be a subset of an evolutionary comeback commonly referred to as fight or flight that happen out of context, flooding the body with hormones as particularly adrenalin, that aid in defending itself from harm. The panic attack is different from other forms of anxiety by its concentration and its unexpected, episodic nature. / Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is the term for an acute and continuing emotional reaction to an excessive psychological trauma. The latter may involve someone’s real death or a threat to the patient’s or someone else’s life, serious physical injury, or threat to physical and/or psychological uprightness. It is important to make a difference between PTSD and Traumatic stress, which is an alike condition, but of less intensity and length. Hysteria was also related to “traumatic reminiscences” a century ago. At that time, Sigmund Freud’s pupil, Kardiner, was the first to portray what later became known as symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. Stress is often defined as the reaction to a situation that threatens the balance or homeostasis of a system.
During my travels in six states in the past week, I finally landed in Durbin West Virginia, where I stayed with a friend of mine. This old coal steam engine depot is in her little historical town of Durbin. We finally got a chance to ride this train that soon will be reaching it’s centinial (100th) birthday in 2010. This engine is called The Durbin Rocket One of three coal steam engines actually running in the world. When we came to a short stop, I took advantage of shooting this (and yes, have quite a few shots while riding it) Something about the elderly gentleman looking at this engine remembering when he was a boy and rode trains like this enticed me to shoot it in black and white. This has not be converted, I changed settings on camera to shoot in BW, I will be adding more photos of my travels after I return from Texas this weekend. This was shot in SS priority, F-stop of 8.0, Exposure at 1/125, ISO of 400, Exposure Compensation at 0 / Best if viewed larger.
The East Lancashire Railway is a heritage railway in Lancashire and Greater Manchester, England.The line opened in 1987 operating a service from Bury to Ramsbottom via Summerseat. In 1991 the service was extended via Irwell Vale to Rawtenstall, and in September 2003 an eastbound extension from Bury to Heywood was opened. To reach Heywood, the line climbs a gradient of 1 in 36, and falling at a gradient of 1 in 41, to cross over the Manchester Metrolink line into Bury. The heritage line is now just over 12 miles (19 km) long, and has a mainline connection with the national railway network at Castleton, beyond Heywood. There are plans to extend the running line further to Castleton in the future. Featured in the Powered by Steam and Trains groups DEC 2008. / Featured in the JPG Cast-offs group JUNE 2009.

What is it about trains? Something about them is so romantic, you see scenes you normally wouldnt see riding in a car. Maybe it’s the sound of the locomotive, the rocking of the car you’re in, the overall atmosphere. / This was shot in West Viriginia, I insisted on doing at least one train ride, especially when this particular one was just 2minutes from where my friend lives. Quite a challenge hanging over in the open car we were in trying to get just that right angle with the right light. The colors were spectacular while I was in WV. Shot this in SS mode with SS set at 1/500 (had to compensate for moving and me hand holding) / F-stop at F 5.6, / ISO at 400, / focal length at 70mm, / and exposure compensation at 0

Captured this Steam train during an early winter’s morning. Carefully chose an uphill location, as this would maximize the volume of smoke and steam produced by the vintage locomotive.
A snapshot of the Zig-Zag Railway at Lithgow in NSW. An engineering feat of it’s time, and today, it’s still a marvel to experience – and not just for the train buffs.
I find Knaresborough station unusual position wise, leaving the station in one direction the track goes straight into a tunnel/bridge. In the other direction it has to cross a large multi arched bridge crossing a gorge/valley. The station itself seems a bit timeless, it can’t have changed much for years. / HDR used for effect.

A shot of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, taken not far from Beck Hole.. it was pouring down that day and you don’t have to look too closely to see the rain. I used hdr to give an effect.. something I like to do with Steam Engine shots.. it seems to take the shot back to the steam era. Taken in the North York Moors National Park. MY STEAM AND RAIL SET
The joys of the ‘Great Little Trains of Wales’ to quote an old tourist slogan. This painting brings back happy memories of a day spent on the Tallylyn Railway, and captures one of their trains approaching Dolgoch Falls.

Whippany, NJ – Aug 2008 – Hand held HDR
A station that time has mostly forgotten all about stands waiting for a time that may never come. These old buildings and rails remember an era where hundreds of happy faces passed through here on their way home or on their holidays: They dream of a time long since passed. The Summer sky presents its amber glow to the station and casts its pigment all over the scene, highlighting the old charm of the woodwork and enhancing the shaddows. There is a romantic stillness captured within this scene. It is easy for us to imagine a crowd of people gathered waiting on a station that looks imaculate and yet, we can also see that this truly is the End of the Line.

Happened to be passing Thirlmere Station in the Souchtern Highlands of NSW (Australia) around lunchtime on Sunday as the 2705 was pulling out with a full head of steam, and a load of sightseers. The Rail Museum at Thirlmere houses about 50 engines in various stages of restoration, and regularly runs these wonderfully nostalgic steam train rides.
