I used an LG Ultima phone for these photographs. I've found that using a cell phone gives me more spontaneity in photographing railroads and trains. And I will be honest, there are many times when I'm on the road for my business that I don't have my digital camera with me. I've also been using the solarize filter as a way to deal with the vagaries of various lighting conditions.
