Many snapshots taken from the train, guessing when the foreground obstructions would be minimal...
Trying for the mountain, only to get all the other...
(Lucky shot)...
(Unlucky shot, otherwise known as passing through a mountain tunnel)...
View up the valley, with an expressway in the mid-ground.
Almost a great picture...
Not a winner...
Hotel shot for rate comparison purposes
The foreground, with the cars parked on the open lot, looks like a model; hard to believe this photo was taken on a 200 mph train ride!
The background scenery had my attention--just bad timing...
Plenty to be seen out of the other side of the train.
