The Canon EOS 40D is my favorite camera. I really love the speed of the shutter box, the high resolution image, and the style of the camera body. Now I use my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT as my backup. I really love the key features of the camera. From the 10.1 megapixels sensor to the fast 6.5 frames per second. I would use this camera for everything, especially when it comes to railroad photography. This camera haven't failed me so far, and I am very happy with the results.

I love my 40D. It has a quality feel that is a definite step up from my XTi. I use a camera for more than just railfanning, and while Canon has added some modest weather sealing to the 40D, it should be better for a camera body in this price range.
The live view function is a handy feature at times and is a welcome addition. Frame rate and the camera's controls are first rate, IMHO. I love the user customizable menu option!
In summary, the 40D is an awesome set up. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a dSLR in its price range.

With the $200 instant Canon Rebate (May 18 - July 19, 2008) its impossible to go wrong with a 40D. This coming from a 30 year Canon shooter (1st Camera was AE-1) and I sold my 20D to get the 40.. That said, even veteran Canon shooters will need to invest some quality time with the manual to bring to bear the features this camera offers.
Here's where I got mine:
