But you can't see them all from one place, they're all crawling at yard speed, and the photo opprotunities are minimal...

Brian, its just a matter of finding the right places to shoot at a certain time of day, yes u got to run like mad to find a good spot, because the trains are everywhere and go in all different directions. Living here as long as i have i have adapted to catch and go tactics of shooting trains in bellevue
And slow moving trains aren't a problem for me.

Have you been to Bellevue and if so how long did you stay? If you would've looked harder there are plenty of places to shoot from

If you come back i will show you around. it sounds to me like you need to spend a day here

I should've guessed it was you.
