Northeast corridor

Travelling by train along the Northeast corridor offers an interesting glimpse of life. I never tire of the scenery as it changes between lush fields, decaying factories, crosses of lakes and rivers, and offers glimpses of scenes difficult or impossible to capture otherwise.

Here's an abandoned industrial building. It's not easy taking pictures while moving at over 120 mph. The window panes are often covered in dry water streaks, the lighting conditions change quickly, and it's hard to keep the camera still for long exposure times. Using a fast shutter speed provides a clear picture but eliminates the sense of motion. Juggling all these factors when you're an amateur and when your target streaks past in a matter of seconds makes matters all the more difficult.

Some stations are busier than others.
