Go By Train 2005! (pt 5: The traditional ¾ths view)
A lot of railroad photographers and magazine editors love the 3/4ths view, where you can see some of the front of the engine plus most of the side. One of the 90 or so pictures I took of SP&S #700 and SP 4449 turned out to be a front 3/4 view.
Yes, these engines were fairly loud as they accelerated across 15th street.
