We're predominantly locomotive fans - not train fans - or so it would appear

Good evening - <br />I was trying to find a photo of a TOFC intermodal train and went to the Railpictures.net website as well as a few others. FAR AND AWAY - the phtos were locomotive shots. Primarly 3/4 views of oncoming train, very focused and often cropped / framed to capture the power and very little else. Lots of roster shots too. In looking at my own photos and some by others which were recently posted here, I see further implication of the same tendency. <br /> <br />I realize that a train is a large, legthy thing, but there has to be more opportunity to capture more than we do. If someone looked at the photos we capture, the dominant impression would be that RR's operate locomotives, for locomotives-sake, with no train following. Clearly there are examples to the contrary, but look at the dominant trend and you'll see lots of power, but not lots else. Do you want to be that guy? <br />- - Stack
