I never thought that railway-pictures can be made at 500mm

I figure if those sports photogs can get good results with long lenses, why not a rail subject? I like the emphasis which can be created and the atmospheric effects which exist in between the camera and the subject. It's hard to see a mirage with a 50mm! Thanks for your comment, Federico. The loco is about 640 meters (0.4 miles) from the camera. The train of mostly empties had to wait for BNSF to run some hot intermodal traffic ahead of it, so the engineer decided to park under the bridge for some shade during the long wait.
