I did just that last year on a photo trip to Colorado.  My father and I were
driving across Nebraska on Highway 30 paralleling the Union Pacific
Railroad.
With the railroad on the right side of the road, I put my father behind the
wheel and had him pace the lead locomotive of a train(about 55 mph).
 From the passenger seat, I rolled down the window and held my Hasselblad up
sideways looking straight into the waist level finder.  Cool shot! The photo
of the engine was tack sharp and framed perfectly.
