Modern camera (and phone) technology has allowed us to photograph things that could never be photographed with equipment that you and I could afford in the past.  But at the same time, darkened and reflective double glazed glass, dirt and rain on windows, and the lack of drop windows has closed the opportunity to take decent pictures from the train where improved camera technology should have allowed it.
