I took this one on my recent road trip to Oregon, just north of the California-Oregon border on Route 39. I recently invested in a nice wide-angle lens — a Nikon 10 to 24 mm lens — and this puppy delivers some crisp photos. The light and clouds were perfect on this late afternoon — all I needed was a train to come along. This is apparently a very seldom-used stretch of track.

Another in our occasional series of rural bus stops. This one’s pretty nice. Guess where? Answer is after the jump.

Interesting middle-of-the-road bus stop in Sao Paulo, Brazil. I’m guessing the photo was taken from the overpass leading to the bus platform.

Cool photo of a bullet train in Kyoto, Japan. The photo was taken with a FujiFilm FinePix HS10 digital camera. Nice processing.

Nice photo of the maintenance yards in downtown Los Angeles for the Red/Purple line subway. The L.A. River is to the right of the yards — one of the bridges over the river is in the top right of the frame — and Metro’s headquarters is in the distance. The photo was taken with the Instagram app for iPhone.

Nice phone photo of Union Terminal, the rail station in Cincinnati that was built in 1933 and which now houses several museums. The Amtrak train between Washington and Chicago also stops there. The place was pretty much empty when I was growing up in Cincy and it’s nice to see it being used again — although the interstate system and air travel pretty much guarantees that the Ohio River Valley will no longer bustle with rail travel as it once did.
Here’s another cool pic:
