Description
There's a fairly short story behind this one. I was trying to get a picture of a southbound Amtrak Cascades in this location, running with Oregon's Series VIII Talgo. After one good snap, I moved my camera, waited, and hit the trigger. My camera decided to wait about half a second to take the picture, resulting in this. I almost deleted it, but it's actually a pretty good side view of the coaches on the Talgo sets. And arguably nicer than the duck-faced cab car I was trying for (attached to right). I also tried to snap the Charger engine at the rear, accounting for the half-second delay. Instead, the camera fired right as I pushed the button, and I ended up with half a Charger and half a baggage car. No good, so that was deleted.

Taken at Titlow Beach Park, Tacoma, WA.
