Hi Mike, "Motion Quite Close" indeed. And you were not the only photographer trying to capture the motion. Also good to see you posting again, especially for this interesting thread.
Down here in OZ, I am pleased to see that at least the Brits / Europeans / Asians are still pushing on with developing railway systems and high speed trains. Given their love of all things coal, I have no doubt that one or other or our major political masters/parties down here will mandate a return to bloody steam strains! Idiots! End of rant (well for now anyway).
