Colorful mountain photography is hard to beat. But I voted for Andy's shot; it is more like something I might run into someday. I am constantly amazed at the photos posted in "Trackside" each volume. Keep up the good shooting!
How could anyone vote against the ocean, beach, steam engine, and good focus?
I'm not certain how one votes against (actually not vote for) a section of rail that you've ridden on and a mountain railroad that you've volunteered on and one still operating in steam--but I did. While I've photographed several rolls of film of the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic RR, Alex Mayes' photo really struck me and got my vote. I really enjoy this feature of the weekly news wire and hope the 13 photographers continue their interest in surprising us readers.
Who in the world would not vote for a steam train meet? I guess that would be me, among others. Again this Trackside session the entries are excellent and decidedly hard to choose from. Drew got my vote because I could cast my ballot for only one photo.
So many great shots--so few votes!
As is generally the case, all four of the photos were interesting and well executed. Tom's photo brought the thought "I wish I'd done that." I did admire the ability to fine chrome on a grill, however, since there is so little metal left on most vehicles.
It is interesting to see how each of the participating photographers interprets this session's theme. My first thought was "multiple train sets," but that would be limiting. I felt Andy's photo reeked of multiples, both in the power and in the trailing cars. As a Holiday Sidenote, I've enjoyed this Trains.com series and continue to look forward to each new volume. Many thanks to the photographers who make this happen.
While my vote went to Erik, I thank you both for the many hours and photos you have provided to Trains readers. I have no idea who came up with the "Trackside" concept, but it has no doubt instilled interest where interest could have waned. You two gentlemen, plus all the other staffers who have participated, have caused me to anticipate Monday evening Internet reading. Thank you, all.
Ye Olde Ed. takes my vote this session. I volunteered for two summers on the C&TSRR and the group of Jim's photos sure bring back pleasant memories. I, too, scampered over fences and fields to get to that side of Lobato trestle and waited while the double header uncoupled and went across one locomotive at a time (weight restriction). As has often been the case, it is a shame to have to decide between two very good shots. Sorry Kathi, nostalgia wins over art this round. Thanks for the good
What a task to select one from two great shots! My vote went to Tom because of the incredible detail in his photo. "Trackside with Trains" has made my Monday evenings a lot more enjoyable. Thanks for the interesting viewing.
