1) Flagstaff, Arizona. It's on the BNSF Transcon. The volume of trains going by is huge. You can use a regular lens and shoot pictures from the train station, which is pretty neat all by itself. The scenery is great, too. Best of all, it's not far from Williams, Arizona, start point for the Grand Canyon Railroad. Does anyone know if BNSF built the cut off around Flagstaff? The locals in the town all uniformly hated the railroad- because the main streets in town had grade crossings- and all heartily wished it would go away. <br /> <br />2) Manchester, Georgia. This is the CSX connection between Atlanta and points south, east, and west. There is a public platform for watching trains with a scanner built in. There are lots of trains to watch go by, and they are a wonderfully mixed bag of unit trains, auto trains, and general freight. I've never been disappointed in good, interesting camera shots of crews changing. Oddly enough, for CSX, the crews are pretty patient about local yokels with cameras so long as you stay away and be safe. They will even wave at you. <br /> <br />Erik
