El Chepe (Copper Canyon train ride) Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is one of the many bridges that El Chepe (Chihuahua al Pacifico RR) traverses in its spectacular journey from the city of Chihuahua, through Creel (elev: 2,800 mts.) to the Pacific at Los Mochis. I've made this trip several times and it never ceases to amaze me. Truly breathtaking and I recommend it to anyone who wants to experience one of the greatest train rides in the world. This is the traveller's view looking toward the back of the train from the open compartment between cars. A great vantage point for photographing this scenic wonder.
Here is a view of the lake district at lower elevation.

Hi Dave!
You made beautiful shot with very unusual reflection. Fantastic view of wild landscape combines with human creation of railway bridge. Very good composition.
Best regards.
