OK - here's my entry - sure ain't much! I shot this today off my deck - the CSX Fremont Subdivision runs through my back yard:
Lets try again one of my top 10 favorites Whew, made it. Well had to play hookie from work today. Here is a shot from Greenland. Not the best light today or the best consist but since I have not fired off a shot in more than a few weeks here it is for your enjoyment a full load of UFIX coal heading south with a good'ole SD70MAC 8954 on point. I always seem to get birds in these shots also.
Sperry Rail testing CP Wilmore Sperry Rail Truck #904 had some track time to do some testing at CP Wilmore as he comes by the old feed mill. Wilmore is my favorite spot to railfan and is only 5 miles from the apartment. Friday June 1, 2007-Wilmore, KY-NS Central Division 1st Dst CNOTP
Southbound Heartland Flyer passing thru Saginaw Interlocker en route to its Ft. Worth destination. Train will later head north to Oklahoma City, OK stopping at Gainesville, Ardmore, Pauls Valley and Norman on BNSF's ex-Santa Fe main.
I wish I could be watching trains from any of these places shown so far. Unfortunatly I have been too busy with family matters for the last few days to get out and photograph my usual haunts. I am in Carrollton, Texas right now away from my computer and means to upload any images. Good luck on your enteries everyone.
Gonna be sitting this one out also. Have not had the chance to check the photos taken during short vacation the last 4 days. Have seen some nice pics agaiin this time. Gonna be interesting to cast my vote(s). Good luck to all who entered!!
Whew (<used interjectionally chiefly to express amazement) and I thought no one was going to join me in the contest. Got some great photos to pick from.:thumbs_up:
another good batch of photos to choose from. None from me this round, couldn't get out to my spot, darn arthuritis
Tim, you need to clear out all the vegatation, if I lived that close to the tracks I would love it. or at least clear a section where you can get good pics
I wish I could clear out the vegetation between my motel room and the CSX min in Cordele, but I didn't bring a chainsaw with me ( about 30 yards'thick of trees). Plus, someone would be kinda upset.
Get your votes in Vegetation huh my daughter just moved into a apartment with a big front window and the IC&E main a block away. The first train I heard I ran to the window to look and some one built a building right there is the way. :lightbulb:I said "could we get some one to move that building". She said "dad that is the fire department."
Look who's in first place with 2/3's of the vote "Mr this is all I could bag". Good job with the photo there:thumbs_up:, just goes to show we just do this for fun because you just never know.:shade:
Great Story Mr. T!!! I have a similiar problem at my house. I COULD be eating dinner and watch trains on the CN, but when spring comes all the leaves block my view. I could go chop down all the small trees but it's on the other side of my fence. I'm not sure who owns the "land of trees." Tim P.S My vote is cast!!!!
Congratulations doofus on winning :thumbs_up: Ya what he said. I some how knew it was over when I seen your photo. Good job caching the moment. Thanks to all the votes that put me in second place I had a tuff time picking a photo. You can see the ones I didn't pick in my album.
