Do you have access to a scanner? I take all film too, and I like to scan in all my pics. And end the good ones to railpictures for automatic rejection. *sigh*

Hey Matt, did you resubmit the ones with the faulty info after you corrected them? It wouldn't hurt to try. I don't know what their policy is as far as resubmitting, but the worst that could happen is that they would reject it again.

Matthew, I don't think railpictures likes going away shots. BTW, I always wondered where that place was, EMD had a photo as an ad in TRAINS here earlier this year from this spot. If I ever make it to that area of canada, I definately have to stop there.

Well guys, I'm going to get going. I want to work on the module tonight a little as long as I don't have much homework.

I will resend it as soon as I get home, around 7.....
Noah, search "Morant's curve" on railpicures, and you will see a couple going away shots at the exact same place.
This is on the #1A highway just east of Lake Louise, about 150Km west of Calgary, where I am. It's definitely worth a long trip to see these mountains. The most telephoto in theose pics is a 49mm, so the mountains are quite close and big.

Spent the first half of the morning in Rochelle today...it was a bit quiet though. I ONLY saw twelve trains in three hours. It was kinda cool though. Right around 8:30 this morning, I watched a UP eastbound train from Global 3 pull up to the signal on the west side of the diamond. I heard a horn off in the distance, and turned around. To my surprise a SD70M with a westbound mixed freight had snuck up without notice right behind me, and was stopped at the east side of the diamond. I kept hearing two different horns, so there was either going to be a double cornfield meet, or the BNSF line was getting busy. Two minutes later, a CEFX SD40-2( I think, it was a blue lease unit ) and a NS SD40-2 rush up the northbound track on the BNSF, and just as the last car of the northbound BNSF clear the crossing, the southbound piggyback train with a still-BN SD40-2 cross the diamond. A 4-way meet, not too bad of a way to enjoy a McDonald's breakfast!

Matt, Railpictures has also made a " upgrade" They want the BEST now so yes, some of those arent as good as yours, but that was probably in the day when they werent so uptight.

I got into their "high standard of excellence!" I still get to be grouchy about some rejects, though.

I was looking through the new photos over at Railpics, and I saw your Matt!! It prompted me to come back over here. It really is a nice shot. I did click on Morant's Curve from your photos, there are some really nice shots there. I definately want to get to that spot sometime if we head to that part of Canada.

TTFN,
Noah

Oh, DEFINITELY worth it. It's up to 6th most popular of today and the kudos are pouring in!
Matthew

[trainboyH16-44]

Make that 5th, and the kudos keep coming!
I'm resending that BNSF pic, and it's taking a really long time, I'll tell you how it turned out as soon as I get the email rejection. I mean notice.

You know, railpictures is VERY picky,, believe it or not i submitted like 20 pictures befor one got in, I wish I could show youi guys my old reject list!!!!!!!!!

Matt, I think I can tell why that one got in, and you can use it as a bechmark for future photos. See how the sides of the loocos were lt- they like that. That is a realy nice picture. Do you mind if I save it and use it as the backdrop on my computer????

Wesley, cool story. I love the rochelle train park.

See yall later, I am trying to dig up some pictures I took this summer.

Of what you ask??? Well, I stood on a highway overpass that goes over a yard thatr is worked by and MP15AC STILL WEARING MILWAUKEE ROAD COLORS and I will submit the pics to railpictures as soon as I find them in my rather large stack of disks.
