Photo's Only Thread!

[Anonymous]

I have decided to share some prototype photos from my personal collection. All the photos I share have been taked iether by me or a friend. I have placed the photo credit in color coded Italics by each caption. I have shown the best of what I have displayed online. There will be more to come in the future.

Close up of the office of 8444. Location: Denver Union Station. Larry Dilts Photo


A rear profile shot of Union Pacific 8444. This shot nicely shows off Union Pacific's Grayhound Scheme. This is my favorite locomotive paint scheme. However I think it looks even better on Union Pacific's Challengers. Location: Denver Union Station Larry Dilts Photo

This is what I consider a cool paint scheme. This is the paint scheme BNSF developed for their new Ice Cold Express Service. This unit is 60 Foot Plug Door Reefer 793388. Rolling along Cabria Avenue. Newcastle WY. March 29, 2002 James Mitich Photo

Trying to keep this thread alive...

I don't have a layout yet but I love the look of my BLI GG1! Just hope it finally runs as well as it looks when BLI sends it back to me (it's being serviced as we speak).

That's the middle of a double-headed Amtrak phase 5 AMD-103 behind it, if anyone's wondering (that's the butt-end of the trailing unit).

Reminds me of when SD40-2s ran on the point in intermodal trains.

Mr. Bruce!

Those photos you posted over on the "trees" thread they belong over here if you please and thanks! Seriously this is the stuff we need to see to get motivated. As for your comment regarding winning any photo contests, well you've won me over as I had to take a better look at that photo to determine how real it really was. I get a sleepy hollow kind of feeling and it's a good one.

Got any more?

On another note if you didn't take the photo please give credit where credit is due! As an amateur photographer who has been published with and without credit it is only fair we recognize the talent of those who give us their benefit of their abilities. Nothing worse than seeing your photo in a reputable book and not being given credit!

Thanks Fergus. I'm not a professional by any stretch. I took that shot with a borrowed cheap digital camera. The effect was unintentional, and I could not recreate it if I wanted to. It was probably due to a combination of lighting, slightly out of focus background, and perhaps the alignment of the stars at that moment! [:D][:D][;)]

More shots? Okay, remember, you asked for it! [:0]

They're actually pretty good. I will post some more pics later in the day.

That is one of the best shots of a bigboy I have ever seen. If only it were a bit more clear.

Here's one

I agree it's a great shot. I've got another Awesome one on www.groups.yahoo.com/groups/themodelrailroadersclub . Oh and sorry guys, I have a digital camera but never been rail fanning. When I go this spring I'll post some.

Here's one from my layout, not that it would win any contests:

this is a switcher at a museum RR on the next isle, I go there often to watch the restoration works

I wasn't trying to be mean Jonesie. Actually, when I took those shots of 3985, I didn't own one either. They were 35mm, and I had a CD, but I think my ex wife ended up with it so I scanned the prints back in to my hard drive. The others were taken with a digital that I bought last summer.

Sorry boys, but I think that the point of this topic was photos that you have taken with your own camera, not photos that you have TAKEN from somewhere else.[:D]

Please don't mistake the photos of 3985 for those of the big boys. I took those in the summer of 2002, when 3985 visited St Paul.

Well I'm sorry. I don't have a digital cambra. [V]

Some interesting graffiti on a NOKL hopper sitting in the yard tracks [small yard that serves a grain processor] near my house. Lots of BN/BNSF cars, which are a long way from home here in Tampa.

ok i did not take these but they will work

[Anonymous]

Here's what I do:

1 post the image on the following website:
http://forums.railfan.net

2 add the pic to your favorites

3 open another window and view the shot. type the URL between ["img]and["/img] and remove the quotation marks.

Note: I like using railfan.net but there are many other ways. Do not use Yahoo groups the URL is too long. On railfan.net I post the shots which fit in that section (i.e. a Conrail shot would go in the fallen flags and Conrail section, a CSX shot would go in the North American railroads/CSX section, etc.
