Having uploaded one yesterday, though it might be nice to see some classic meet shots between two trains, not talking over unders or yard shots.

For some reason I have recently preferred meet shots that are side by side - in each case I have a nose to nose version but like these better.

And then there is my pair of opposite (and distant) nose-to-nose/tail-to-tail shots of the same trains.

I only have 2 where both trains are racing each other:

But, does a train and a tug count? Oops, guess not. That is an over-under.

I also have 1 or 2 with helpers getting passed in the hole, but I'm not counting those.

Ooo I can play in this one with all the trains we run on the Chicago "L". A great chance to show the excitement of our urban scenery.

I gotta say, for someone who doesn't like subways in the slightest, both of those are pretty impressive.

These 2 were running side by side, almost at the same speed as the passenger had stopped at Didcot station, only a mile down the track

Same direction here, but travelling at completely different speeds

Like Chase, I could care less about subways, but you really do a creditable job of capturing them in the urban landscape where they run. You have some truely fantastic shots of them that display a high degree of skill on your part.

trainboysd40 · 10-16-2009, 02:50 PM

Is anyone else thinking we need another sub-forum for these threads?
I rarely do meets.

asis80 · 10-16-2009, 04:51 PM

Probably the luckiest shot of all time for me

Although this was pretty cool

Ben

WembYard · 10-16-2009, 04:52 PM

I havn't got any classic nose to nose meets but do have a couple of side by sides

Edit.....

Three way side-by-side by my other half

And yes, Matt, I think we do. I like these gallery posts, kinda blows the dust off on some old shots for anyone who has missed them or what not.

AntD. · 10-16-2009, 06:00 PM

I got lucky with this one. 3 Locomotives from different Railroads. (NS, CR, BNSF)

nikos1 · 10-16-2009, 07:12 PM

I have a couple depending on how you define it,
A little follow up to Ant's shot

Last ever meet here

All 4 axle EMD meet

Oldest GE model on CSX meets the newest

Local power meet at the depot

Yard power and road train

Hi rail meets B-boat

Blue and yellow

mega meet

UK DMU meet

wds · 10-16-2009, 09:11 PM

Guess I've gotta get in on this too:
Commuter trains - when DON'T they meet? But I'll throw in a couple I like

ONR 697 - CN 450

VIA 73 - CN 385 (this one might be pushing it a bit due to the separation)

VIA 73 - CN 398 (had the VIA been 15 seconds earlier it would've been nose to nose on the bridge, oh well)

I'm thinking yard shots or yard lead/mains shots which I've got several of don't really count as meets, but I'll throw this one in cuz it's CN - CP and the switch job's not really in the yard but on a service track (yeah, I know it's pushing it too, but I like the power on the CP train!)

And a late addition
