I don't work for TRAINS Magazine or any other publication. I do actively pursue my passion of photographing trains, and if I have an image that fits the theme in the Trackside feature i submit it.

It may simply be that he actually submits photos each time. I have sometimes thought about submitting on the rare occasions when I recall a good shot that closely matches the theme, but ultimately the deadline always passes without action.

I think he does- met him on an NRHS excursion when they had their convention in CR a few years ago.

Does Alex Mayes work for Trains Magazine? He seems to have a photo included in every batch.

Dakguy201 Murphy Siding When I click on either link from the post, I only get to see the page of photos for about 3 seconds. Then the screen is overtaken by an ad for Trains Magazine 12 ISSUES+ FREE GIFT. SUBSCRIBE NOW >> I had the same experience. After a few tries I switched to Firefox, and using that there was now an "X" to close the ad.

I went with Ken Williamson's photo of a shortline engineer on a local freight. A nice shot of everyday railroading.
There should be an "X" near the upper right hand corner of the major window... click it and the overlay will go away.

I voted for Dale's photo. The engineer was wearing a Conrail hat! That was enough for me. (That, and it was a nice photo!)
