Very cool track picture

There's a spot on the CEMR where high cube cars are/were used to control the vegetation.
Not nearly as cool as this pic but the trees were squared off in a similar fasion.
 
Whose going to be the first to model it? It might make a good transition through a backdrop where a (normal) tunnel wouldn't work. Good luck fixing a derailment!
Oh yeah, very cool pic.
 
It would be cool to see it from the outside, with a train running through. Might look similar to watching fish under water.
 
Damn! That is badass! How the heck do they maintain it to look like that? A lot of weekly trimming I suppose?

Probably by not maintaining it at all. The trains passing through will break off branches that grow over the tracks and naturally form a passage that exactly conforms to the outline of the equipment.

If this track was actually maintained, the trees would be cut a lot further back and there wouldn't be stuff growing between the rails.

Looks cool, something that one might look into modeling. However it does look photoshopped. Either way its a cool photo and thanks for sharing
