If forget the exact inches off the ground, but the rail height is about 6" below my eyeballs. So these are either at normal viewing angles or I held the camera up against the ceiling, pointed down to get an overall view. This is normal:

BTW I changed the one photo, used the one Tim shopped out:


I really like this! 
Why are the cars on the wrong side of the road?  You taking up English railroading?  :D
You should be able to reverse the images ....

Looking at the original photo Chris posted at the top of page 2, it appears to be a one-way street.  All the cars are headed away from the viewer.

Yeah, except now it looks like the car in the distance, next to the truck, is coming toward the viewer....at least that's how it appears to me.

Maybe a one-way sign in the foreground?

I think we could be more help to you if you gave us a kind of stereopticon photo set: one with the camera two inches (or so)  left of road center, one right in the center, one two inches right of center.
