The opposite distortion then becomes a problem. Nearby objects appear vastly larger than distant ones so photographing a train of any appreciable length is almost pointless.
This is obviously where we differ Darryl. To me having the rear of the train disappearing into the distance is not a problem but simply a fact of life. That is how it appears to the naked eye. To you it is a distortion that you choose to correct artificially. As I said it's all down to personal taste.
