Well, here at Google Sightseeing we’re not entirely sure that we know what an RV actually is… But Keith Harrison reliably informs us that this is an RV park. Makes quite a cool picture though, thanks Keith

Looks like these trains are stopped at a level crossing on the Burlington Northern railroad track in Wyoming. The Northern one is chopped off by some low-res imagery, but scroll south to see just how incredibly long they are! Amazing.

Update

In the comments, Eric Smith said:

These are unit coal trains, typically 100-115 cars long. These were probably going from/to the Powder River Basin in Wyoming, which is just north of the photo you found. Here is the loading loop, large enough to run one of these trains in a circle.

You can see that the image was taken just after the two ends of the train passed each other, as the black carts are fully loaded with coal.

You can never find a taxi when you need one and at JFK airport that’s because they’re all hiding in a four acre sea of yellow known as the Central Taxi Hold. According to the New York Times the drivers wait here for up to five hours at a time, playing football, dominoes or backgammon. Apparently it’s worth the wait though as the drivers earn a $45 flat fare to Manhattan.

Apparently one of the most popular (and picturesque) sports in Boston/Cambridge is rowing on the Charles River. This view near Harvard University captures several 8-person racing shells in mid-stroke. Very cool.

Cashman Andrus says:

You can clearly see the paddles of these boats (8 rowers plus a coxswain). That’s the Harvard boathouse in the lower right corner (The one with the red roof).

Further down-river you can see one of Boston’s “Red Line” subway trains crossing the Longfellow Bridge (aka “the salt and pepper bridge” because of the shape of the towers). The train shown in this shot is travelling from Cambridge to Boston. David says that:

A train crossing this bridge is used in virtually every ‘establishing shot’ for movies and tv shows that take place in Boston.

And that’s good enough for me to put this post in the Movie Locations category

Many thanks to P-Dunny, Cashman Andrus and David

Especially for Andrew Scott, we’re finally posting some trains

Union Pacific’s classification yard in North Platte, Nebraska is the world’s largest railroad classification yard. The yard is made up of 315 miles of track, and up to 10,000 railroad cars are handled here each day. Wikipedia says:

Because of the enormous amount of products traveling through Bailey yard each and every day, the yard is sometimes referred to as being an “economic barometer of America”

Thanks Jeff Jones and dan.
