  Are the Russians involved in the voting?

I voted for Dale's photo.  The engineer was wearing a Conrail hat!  That was enough for me.  (That, and it was a nice photo!)

There should be an "X" near the upper right hand corner of the major window... click it and the overlay will go away.

I went with Ken Williamson's photo of a shortline engineer on a local freight.  A nice shot of everyday railroading.

I had the same experience.  After a few tries I switched to Firefox, and using that there was now an "X" to close the ad.

I did figure out how to push Ctrl & - a couple of times to shrink it down enough so that the "X" showed up. Before that it was oversized for the screen and made me think of the ghost in Ghostbusters.

Does Alex Mayes work for Trains Magazine? He seems to have a photo included in every batch.

[blhanel]

I think he does- met him on an NRHS excursion when they had their convention in CR a few years ago.

It may simply be that he actually submits photos each time.  I have sometimes thought about submitting on the rare occasions when I recall a good shot that closely matches the theme, but ultimately the deadline always passes without action.

I don't work for TRAINS Magazine or any other publication.  I do actively pursue my passion of photographing trains, and if I have an image that fits the theme in the Trackside feature i submit it.
