Expresso Maya's back platform at dusk (above) provides a good place and time for shiny rail leading lines.  Early morning when Chris was boarding the Capitol Corridor California Amtrak (right) the light poles and painted yellow stripe seem to lead him to his car.

The Ski Train in Denver (above) may be my favorite leading line photo.  The Challenger leads the UP dome train north from Denver to Cheyenne making a nice leading line to the steam of the Challenger (right) the same morning as the Ski Train shot.

Use the large copy of this to look for the leading lines including the train itself, to the engine, and the snow-covered road with the tracks in the snow.

Another unpaved country road along the right-of-way (right) provides a leading line to the clouds at sunlight along the route of the Southwest Chief.  A grass fire had blackened the area to the right of the road which highlighted the tracks through the burned grass.

The rails make a leading line to the engine, but did you see the second leading line...the snowy road?  I like the smoke better in this show, making it the main subject.

From the open vestibule of the Pacific Sands private car on a recent trip north of San Diego at sunset, the gleaming rails were an obvious leading line to the sun.

The tracks (above) are the obvious leading lines to the tunnels, but the treeline leads uphill and downhill to the tunnel face as well.
The same California Zephyr trip (right) yielded another leading line shot after exiting a snow shed.  The back coach door was a nice platform from which to shoot the snowy Sierras.

The leading track lines (left) help emphasize the snow on the mountains north of Ontario, CA, and help show what 'snow level elevation' means.

The Chepe line photo in Mexico (above) was taken from an open vestibule, impossible on Amtrak.
