You might not be thinking the same way about photobucket the same way the designers think about photobucket. I guess it takes someone who has been using a computer since they were 10 years old to get the "nerdy" way they set up the posting from photobucket to another website or webpage.
On the photos there is pull down menu that you can find the correct web link for the photo URL.
That URL has to be placed into the INSERT MEDIA window.
Then you can post the photos directly on the TRAINS forum posts.

Hope this works for U. Just go to independentrailfan at photobucket if not. Google it or whatever. shawn&deedeeindependentrailfan
Yea sorry about that! Freakin photobucket. I should have posted them to flicker or whatever U call it. I have had a load of trouble with photobucket, but with that said it seems to be working fine now. Today after work I checked and the page was completeley messed up. So U are right and I do apoligise for it. And yes those pics were taken I think back in august or July? Not sure. I have just started to put up pics a few weeks ago on photo bucket. I dont put pictures up up until last week becuse too many people post like 2million pics at rail pics and rail archives so i figured it would not be woth it. But I love to share our rail fanning with all. I enjoy other peoples pics from out west ect so i figure I should post some too. I also have video of every pic I take and I am willing to share that also. I just burn DVDs at home for friends. Too bad they scrapped that locomotive. DEtroit Edison should have put it on display. I am a HUGE DEEX fan all my life. I even got to ride a few with my dadback in the day before homeland shareholder!LOL GOD BLESS
I had to go digging for the pictures you were talking about, they weren't at the page you linked us to.
Your pictures must've been taken months ago since I heard this locomotive was scrapped in early October.
Nice catch, it might've been the last one. Detroit Edison dumped their last few U-Boats not long ago and they've been scrapped (I believe there are pictures online of the 8 and this locomotive being scrapped if you want to see her death).
http://s1219.photobucket.com/albums/dd440/independentrailfan/#!cpZZ1QQtppZZ12 this catch was completly by suprise as me and my wife do not have train schedules We take the scanner and just get "lucky". I think it makes it more fun when watching trains to not know what is coming. I see guys all of the time sitting with charts, two scanners, books, lap tops, cameras, video equ, cell phones to let there buddys know, news papers, coffe, food, and the list go's on!!! Ok, I may be going a little far with the well mabey not... Anyway we caught this going across the NS "vickors" diamond while watching CSX. Ok, here is the neat deal here. The last time I saw one of these was when I was like 16 or 17 yrs old ( I left for Army basic training a year or so later and never went back) on a DEEX or Detroit Edsion train going under the oak street bridge in east " toledo where I grew up ( no fun). When one would watch trains from ontop of the oak street bridge U were playing it risky as many not so friendly people ran this area from both the projects and our own neighborhood. Many times I had to make a fast break to get away from either being beat up or worse. There was even a old "beam" bridge down by the river crossing it was Pennsy bridge ( tore down a few yrs back conrail ran coal to a now being torn down edison plant) from my parents steam days! The B&O switched onto the Penssy down there and Conrail built it's lead up the very short but steep hill to there Stanely yard. My grandmother lived right by this too and I would often watch the daily GTW train going up the hill at run 8 and my grandmother would be soooo mad at the house shaking. I even have derailment pics from like 1969 that my dad took there. Autoracks dump'd over. The curve is incredibliy tight and steep. NS still uses it across faset street, but beware if you try to catch anything there it is VERY danngerous area to stand around. Local gangs from east toledo run there now. Like everything else I guess time moves on for us and RRs. my grandmother passed away and most of my family moved away and I still have one retired Conrail brakeman uncle living there.
