P3D 3-D Photographs of Moving Trains Problems- Anyone Else?

["Darren Ferreter" <DFERRETE@xxxxxxx>]

Some interesting early photographs of the building of the Union Pacific Railroad sparked my interest in combining Railroad and 3-D photography.  A person can view photos taken in the 1860's by A.J. Russel on the Union Pacific Web Page.

I use two 35mm cameras mounted side by side with the shutters tripped by hand.  I have about a 75% success rate on fast moving trains.  Problem being of course,  the moving object has changed position in the micro second between the two different tripped shutters.  When the slides are projected, the shift in position makes for a very usual resulting photograph.  The train sometimes does not appear to be on the track.   

I'm curious what my next step is?  Is there a better way than by hand?  Would two electronic remote shutter trips be more accurate?   Being new to the list I have not seen anyone address photographing moving objects.  Any rail photographers out there who are more experienced in this aspect of the hobby than I am?

Thanks,
