Two more wide angle views

On the way home from my morning class at Mt SAC, I happened across a train making a long shove on the Los Angeles Sub. to the Alhambra Sub. in Pomona.

This first image is of one of the trainmen guarding the shove as he acts as the engineer's eyes. He was talking on the radio as the train approached my position.















The head end of the train passes by my vantage point.














I can't decide which of the images from these wide angle views I like best. I'm sure more are to come this month.

Wide Angle View

At another website that I visit, there is a photo assignment to capture an image using 21mm focal length or less. The prompted me to get out and try to capture some images with my 17mm to 40mm lens. Here are a few of my favorites so far.

A lone hopper sits in an industrial spur in Pomona.













A set of tank cars parked in the spur at a candle factory in Pomona.













A couple of views of the cabooses and private cars inside their cage at the Fullerton Amtrak Station.
