Trackside with Erik and Mike, Vol. 64

[espeefoamer]

I went with Mike's night shot this week.They were both very good.I really liked the way the headlight lit up the snow in front the UP train.Erik, I may have voted for the Empire Builder shot.That would have made a close choice even closer.

Got to go with Erik's this time.  The slight lean as the train rounds a curve just invokes motion to me.

Sorry Mike, the auto ruined the shot for me.  Erik's really had some 'punch'.

Wow! I just looked at the totals, this week is as tight as the slack in a stack train! (Why would I say that? Ponder and answer if you care to)

Erik,

 The photo of train #7 on the 17th of January is outstanding. The engineer that is waving his red ball cap is Craig Willett. Outstanding engineer, in fact one of the best.

Today the vote was cast with the help of my two sons.... WE all agreed that the night time Uncle Pete was an eye catcher. I agree with one of the above comments about using the Amtrak shot. That might have swayed me to go with Erik's picture.

Just read the results and the comments about the engineer in the Amtrak photo that was not submitted for voting.

Mr. Willet! I worked with Craig for several years at Soo/CP when he was the rules guru. You could always count on at least one question per test that was really ch&^$*& sh%$. Good to see he is stil running. 

I learned a lot from him and his successor, Rod McCorkle.

Not always easy to teach us track guys about the GCOR.
