Cool old Buick and train photo

I just received this photo via email tonight. It's just too cool to not share. It was taken near Heber City, Utah and features Union Pacific 2-8-0 #618, and a 53 Buick Super.

 

That is a great shot, thank you for sharing :TU:

 

Had to of been some work to set that shot up.
Getting a vintage train and a car on the right day.
Notice the caboose on the back.

The world changed when we lost the caboose on the trains.
Not really sure if it was for the good.

 

Wow, that is fantastic! I thought it was a painting at first!

 

NICE pic!!!

 

Really a beautiful shot!!! Great comparison and shows class.

Here is an older one that has been kicking around the boards taking from the movie Red Rock. Yeah its funny but no where compares to the shot you posted

 

I posted that photo on the board in 2007, great shot by Michael Allen (he's from Flint, Michigan), he travels around the world to take photos of trains.

Bigger size:




Here's another one with Annie Bruehl's 1953 Buick in it:

And another one, but not by Michael Allen:

Click thumbnails :Comp:

 

Hey Erik, it's entirely possible that I missed your original posting from 2007. I also received some of the others you posted.

It reminds one of simpler times of yore, when life wasn't such a rat race.

 

. . . amen, Tom ! :TU:

 

Tom,
Did you also get the one with the red train plowing through the snow ?

I had that as my desktop background, but for some reason it was deleted from my computer.
So if you have it, please send it to me :TU:
It's an image of the front of a train covered in a cloud of snow with bright lights shining, taken with a very low shutter speed so you really see the snowflakes dwarreling.

Something like this, but even better..... < Click :Comp:

Anyway:
Here's more of Michael's work :Comp:

 

Erik, unfortunately, I did not get that photo, but did receive some of Michael's other work, which you've posted via that link. Thank you for that.:beer

 

awesome photo!!!!!! thanks for sharing!

 

Thanks for sharing! I added those PICs to my screensaver collection.
Thanks again.

 

Wow, that has to be a really small screen....:eek2:

 

Wow!

 

I like the cougar in the picture too!:TU:

 

I don't have any cool pickup and train pics but I do have a pic of a old Chevy pickup took from one of my railroad's locomotives. We were passing by it last winter.




Here's a couple of other pics from that trip to Driftwood, PA from Dubois, PA.

Old Pennsylvania signals at CP Driftwood.


Taken at CP North Driftwood. The engine is about two weeks out of the paint shop. A few days later we hit 4 trees on our way back out to Driftwood.


Random elk pic. Taken just east of Grant, PA.

 

absolutely fabulous pictures!!!

 

great pics! thanks for sharing

 

But it says it belongs to an university ?

Or do I misread "My only train pic." ?
