Some of y'all need to calm down a bit. Happy holidays has been a common greeting for decades, long before "PC culture" became a thing. Christmas is still (and will always be) the de facto holiday of...

Both ballast- and open-deck bridges are common. The trend is moving more and more towards ballast-deck bridges since it's easier to control thermal expansion, they can be surfaced using regular...

Given the "app" panel lower down on the signal, I'd hazard a guess that it's not an active block signal but rather a "fixed approach" to a controlled location further down the line where the train...

As far as I'm concerned, this is the exact type of content that RP could use much, much more of.

As someone who generally likes to see photos from the engineering side of things, this shot amounts to little more than a photo of a stop sign with a parked ballast regulator beside it and doesn't...

They will delete photos from oldest to newest until the account is at 1000 photos.

You're not paying for GIMP, you're paying for the CD and for the fact it's on Amazon. The program is otherwise entirely free: https://www.gimp.org/downloads/

What's all the speckling on the locomotive - dirt and grime? That's the only thing in the image that resembles any kind of noise, and I assume the screeners were looking at that. Might be worth...

Yup - tried to rescue a blown-out spot and turned it into a flat, featureless grey. Great photo apart from that minor criticism, though.

I'm gonna disagree on the compositions - the first one is too tight; in the second one you have the pole line, mesas in the background and the rails provide a better lead-in. The blown headlights are...

Flickr was horrendously slow for several months following the big site revamp a few years ago, but it's much better now.

That, or I've just gotten used to it. :D

It's certainly no less grainy than a particular shot sitting at the TO24 right now. :lol: There is a bit present in the sky, however.

You might have some compositional issues, though. There's a...

Agree with what others have said. Too tight on all sides and the train should be a bit closer to the bridge (but not "touching" the structure!) to better fill in the space. The lighting is what it...

Wow. The difference between the two shots is quite something.

Heh. I had a similar photo rejected a while back for being too dark, though I didn't bother contesting it:

Looks very greenish on my monitor, and could probably do with a bump in contrast and some CCW rotation.
