    Having trouble thinking where a good vantage point is? You're favorite railfan spot is probably a great vantage point. [​IMG]

    Boy, I wish this was the weekend for the National Pike show down south of Pittsburgh. There's an amazing vantage point a little north of there that makes the little yard town of Newell look like it's been modeled in N-scale!

    As I was railfanning around my house I found a one lane farm bridge to shoot from. Luckily no tractors came through.

    A cold wind was blowing in from Lake Michigan - enough to make my eyes tear up when looking west!

    Where three railroads diverge. Looking west in the Rosenberg yard along the UP Sunset Route where the BNSF splits off to the right and KCS to the left.
