Now, that would be obscure...

zugmann Murphy Siding Do I need to point out how disappointed you'd be when you learn zugmann isn't human? He's actually a very articulate pony. Disappointed? I don't think he would be.

Thanks to Chris / CopCarSS for my avatar.
@Zugmann... Thank you for the gaffaw of the morning.

Pkgs.
Or someone riding a car/loco with "3 points of contact".
And the question we always would ask the trainmasters: do your buttocks count as one or two points?
It's been fun. But it isn't much fun anymore. Signing off for now.

Paul_D_North_Jr zugmann But the conductor is providing point protection. Or riding the point. Someone should have submitted a photo of zugmann providing "3-point protection" . . . - PDN.

No. Someone shan't.

If my memory is correct I learned in 8th grade math that point, line and plane are undefined terms.
zardoz tree68 edblysard This tread got pointed in a different direction fast… Alas, all the signs pointed that way... A point in every direction is the same as no point at all.

I dunno. Maybe we've reached the point of know return.
How many trains can operate on the point of a pin?
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
We are all just trying to be sharp as a tack.

If there is any point to this, make sure you don't get stuck!
I was always told it was not nice to point ..
Good point!
henry6Frogs and crew on engine steps or engines on front of train are pointless picturs. Only Alex Mayes pic at POINT Royal with locomotive on the POINT at a POINT where two lines merge confirms to the POINT of the instruction.

Alex Mayes picture is at Point of Rocks, not Point Royal. Point of Rocks is the location where the Old Main Line and Metropolitan Branch meet. It is also a location where it took several years of litigation between the B&O and the C&O Canal company's as well as involvement of the Maryland Legislature for the B&O to optain the rights to build beyond Point of Rocks as the land in the area is squeezed between the Potomac River and a mountain - a very tight geographical area.

Dakguy201 It's a nice photo, but my thought after looking at it and reading the caption was "Gee, they must have been really short of entries this time to allow that as fitting the theme." If I entered a photo of my Grandmother and retold one of her rambling rail travel stories that got to the point an hour later, would that be a legitimate entry?

LOL! I didn't select the photos, but I will say that we'd be happy to have you submit. I'm sure your grandmother is a lovely lady, but ...
That said, we do allow for all types of interpretation of a theme as long as it's railroad related. Some weeks we get more entries than others. And everyone's taste is different. Please note that this year's Sigma-sponsored annual photo contest theme is "My hometown railroad," which is translucent.

Angela Pusztai-Pasternak Murphy Siding Can someone explain how Mitch Goldman's photo fits into the contest title? I can understand the front of the train being the point and I can understand the points of a switch connection. But I'm not getting the vibe on Mitch's.-Thanks According to his caption: "To get "to the point," this is a photo of what remains of a Reading Co. line that was originally chartered to reach a point in New York City from Philadelphia, Pa., to better compete with the PRR."
