Trains on the move

We decided to have a date afternoon today. This meant we went to a couple museums, had coffee and then saw "Lincoln" at the Grand. Excellent movie with acting rather than action (what a novel idea).

The Washington State history museum is located in Tacoma and always has something interesting to look at and ponder. There is a large model train on permanent display that is fun to look at...very detailed (it's a realistic representation of the historical rail lines in the area). Anyhow, I took this picture while the trains were in motion. I put the shutter speed down to about an 1/8 of a second which gives the picture the effect of the train speeding through the scene.
