    Great shots, guys- expecially the vintage Alcos!
    Please post more- the closest I get to CN down here are the CN hoppers set out at Coorstek in Grand Junction.

    Maybe E.D.Motis's photo of CN #2548 could be cropped down to just show the engine, and replace the head-on photo now used for this forum?

    I am rather tired of the head-on shot, since it really does not show the engine to best of composition, in my opinion. I do not mean to offend the owner, or photographer of the head-on shot, I just feel it should show more of the engine and paint scheme.

    If E.D. would be agreeable, I think his #2548 would better represent the CN Forum to bring new life.

    This is my personal opinion:
    It might generate more responce if the Forum photos were changed occasionally, and many many fine photos are afterall, available.

    I am not in anyway "running down" the Full face-on photo now used as the CN Forum "Mascot" for It is my opinion that it is a good very clear photo, but my interest is waning in it. [​IMG]

    Well, maybe this new one is better. A volunteer supplied it and thought it would be more suitable.

    Many thanks to the volunteer for the new Mascot Photo! Now it looks like a CN should, glad to get rid of the old "in-your-face" one! :D

    The offer has been made to use whatever shot the administrator would like. Would be glad to do a custom shot....By the way, Dash 9's were shot at Hicks, BC just west of Boston Bar, coming off the Anderson Creek Bridge and yes, the location is the Fraser...
