Up in the air


The engineer was very careful when parking this Budd car on a siding in the rail yard - the tracks end in mid air!

A relaxed view stereogram of a Budd car (also called a Buddliner or a Budd Rail Diesel Car) parked in the afternoon sun, waiting the next service run.  It is coupled with a passenger car.  These two 3d sets show the great depth that can be achieved with 3d photography.
