Perhaps I was expecting too much, but I was hoping for something a bit more elaborate for #100.
Any examples? We're all ears.

I voted for Erik's. While I thought both pictures were well done, the reflection in the still water of Erik's was magnificent.
Enjoy

Had to go for Mike's shot. I wouldv'e voted for "ACe on the Bridge" had you submitted that one (I caught that train near Neenah shortly after you took that picture) but appreciated and liked the stack train against the water. I've tried for a shot like that for a while (probably from a similar spot) but luck never cooperated with me.
Congrats on 100 episodes!

No fair putting photos from the west against photos from dreary Wisconsin.
Erik's shot had the scenery going for it, but the train seems out of focus, and the entire image is a bit hazy and lacking in color. I really liked the two photos he did not submit (Gas local and the Schilling local).
Mike's shot is rather generic in its location and equipment, but the image is much sharper (I can even read the locomotive number), and the colors have some vitality. I really liked the W&S shot at the rural crossing, as well as the Oshkosh Bridge shot.
Neither submitted image excited me much, but I voted for Erik's shot.
Larry Resident Microferroequinologist (at least at my house) Everyone goes home; Safety begins with you My Opinion. Standard Disclaimers Apply. No Expiration Date Come ride the rails with me! There's one thing about humility - the moment you think you've got it, you've lost it...
....Both photos appear similar in quality, so my judging must go on content. Like Erik's rendition with the rather dramatic RR shot and the glassy smooth water....Probably from a dam. Vote for Erik.
