In today’s edition of Getting the Shot, and in the spirit of the end of the Beijing Olympics on Sunday, we bring you this fantastic photo from Flickr user “Channel Packet” in which he shows us a slag dumping operation in China. Such a neat view, and we gather that there isn’t such a thing as OSHA in the People’s Republic…

We know it’s late, on a Friday night of all times, but we thought we’d point out this radio show featuring David Plowden. We hesitate to call Plowden a railroad photographer, as he was much more than that, but he has featured quite a few trains in his photos, and he was once an assistant to O. Winston Link. Anyway, please check out this radio interview from Plowden, it’s even in Podcast form.

A daily feature from us at Main Two is “Getting the Shot”, some of the best photography pulled from the Flickr group “Richard Steinheimer: The Art of Trains“. Enjoy.

Today’s photo is from Flickr user “Lampy“, and it’s one which he calls ‘Snoot‘. Appropriate title, there, Lampy, as this is one of the IC&E’s snoot nose SD40-2s.

It’ll be a shame when this railroad folds into the CP Rail empire…

Today’s entry is from Flickr user “akagoldfish“, one which he calls ‘maze’.

We really enjoyed the tones in this photo, and the overall feel of the freight yard. Nicely done, Sam.

Today’s image, from Flickr user Chris&AmyCate, is entitled Brooklyn, NY-22nd Ave/Bay Parkway – 6/28/06.

Chris says he had to climb a fence to get this one. And as long as he wasn’t robbing any graves, it was totally worth it.
