Predeal, Romania July 11, 2007.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I had visions of wolves howling in distant ravines, silhouettes of bats flitting through the air against a luminescent full moon, and an aged caped gentleman speaking in a thickly accented voice. . .<\/p>\n

Then I arrived in Romania by train from Budapest and reality interrupted my fantastic imaginations!<\/p>\n

Turns out that Predeal, at the summit of the Transylvania Alps, is a great place to photograph trains. No bats, no moon, no wolves;\u00a0not that I saw anyway.<\/p>\n

The weedgrown right-of-way is deceptive. The mainline is electrified and heavily traveled.<\/p>\n

On the afternoon of July 11, 2007, I exposed this image south of the summit a Predeal of a Compania Na\u0163ional\u0103 de C\u0103i Ferate (Romania National Railways) electric leading an oil train.<\/p>\n
