So what are some photo ops that you all have missed? I'm sure that we have all seen things go buy and for whatever reason didn't get a picture. Usually I just shrug it off, but their is one that has really bothered me.

I was up in Erie, PA a couple of years ago and their was a huge Conrail crane on I believe the CSX line. The biggest crane that I had ever seen. It was being used to place prebuilt pieces of track into place. It was basiclly building a siding in the same way that a model railroader would. For some reason I got home and as I looked through all of my pictures I couldn't find a trace of it. I don't know if I lost the roll or if I just had an empty camera. Either way I didn't have a pic...[:(]
