I guess there isn't much danger as it's a train but that would definitely freak me out to be that close.

The zoom certainly makes it look like I was closer than I really was, but yeah, even this was a bit out of my comfort zone.

Cool shot, I bet that's an absolutely gorgeous ride.

One of the best ways to leaf-peep! I did it all the way to DC this weekend last year, the views are amazing.

Oh yes, it’s quite lovely… it’s so slow you have plenty of time to take in the scenery! :’)

This is a great picture!

I am looking forward to my next day trip on this lovely train. Peeping on some leaves while sipping on a nice cup of tea, with some good tunes in my headphones makes for a wonderful "me" day, away from my normal life. I like to go south to Northampton Ma and spend the two hour layover visiting shops and getting lunch before the scenic ride back north.

I'm gonna sound like a broken record here, but great shot!! Love the leaves kicking up underneath near the track. Gives the photo a great sense of movement.

How long did you have to wait for the late train to take the picture?

I was already out snapping photos. I figured I’d check the Amtrak app to see where it was, and it was only about 15 minutes out. Lucky for me I suppose. 🤷‍♂️

I live right near here. Noisy but I don’t mind

We're about a mile away. We certainly notice it more in the winter, but it's nothing compared to what the folks near crossings deal with.

Funny I'm reading this on the AMTRACK back to Burlington from NYC, such a nice addition since Greyhound and other bus companies suck

The folks over at r/amtrak would love this! (Especially the classic paint scheme)
