Thank you! I don't think it will get boring. I'm sure it will be a pain in the ass some days but never boring.

Hello fellow SW Ohio railfan!

(I still lurk around RP occasionally)

As for your shot, it looks like the sun was just too high and too strong for the type of picture you were taking. It's a...

3x the GSMR

I haven't posted to the forums in quite awhile and I haven't attempted to add a pic to RP in even longer. The addition of a girlfriend and a full time job has made railfanning quite difficult....

First one is fine.

I would've rejected your second shot for horrendous selective editing.

Rail-vids never really did take off. No real need for a site like that with Youtube out there. RP still wins for photos. For not at least :lol:

Rode the photo special today. It ended up being an 8 hour ride, traveling the entire length of track that GSMR uses today (Dillsboro to Nantahala) and back. It was interesting to try to learn my new...

The train is leaning CW (seems to an elevated curve) while other verticals in the scene are leaning CCW. It's a tough one that boils down to personal preference but if Jim says it needs rotation, by...

If you return to this location I'd stand about where you're at here, get some elevation if you can and point the camera a...

611 Problems?

I've seen a couple of comments about the 611 not running excursions for awhile and I was wondering what the reason was?

If I had to guess it would be the state of railroads and the cut-backs and...

The first one could possibly get in even with the pole but I wouldn't recommend submitting it. Remember: quality over quantity when it comes to submitting. You're getting better!
