    Well, that counts me out. I never get up before noon and Amtrak comes through at 4AM.

    Sounds ok to me, but the passager train part. I can't drive anymore and Amtrak is an 80 or 90 mile. Also the wife doesn't get up till she has to on weekends and to her, trains don't count.

    Yes, for me passenger / commuter rail might be an advantage now that I can overtly take pictures at South Station and other parts of the T. That said there have been several contest where I simply do not have a chance due to my inability to drive. I don't expect to win, place or show. MY contributions are more for grins and giggles.

    Beyond all that the subjects are wide open and puns are permitted.
    Sooo a contest labeled "Passengers" would not necessarily require an official passenger train. Still, I do reconize that it can be very challenging and I have had to sit out more than one, (probably to the relief of many). :)

    Long before we knew of my visual limitations my father would say:
    "It ain't whatcha got. It's wihatcha you do with it that counts"
