Re: Blurry? Perhaps you just need the next Photoshop...

This would be very handy when shooting trains with my flashes where the triggers' sync speed is only 1/200 second. :shock:

And both your photos are of the local working in the yard. I doubt it was very close. Did I ever say it was close? I just said it was stupid. :?

I'm Surprised...

...That more people don't get killed here! :x It always seems like there's a lot of people going around gates and running in front of trains in Marion, Ohio. I've noticed it more there than anywhere else I've been to. Here are some close-ish-call photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/47491339@N04/62...

Punks Starting a Fire on Railroad Property

I was waiting for a train at Powell Road near Lewis Center, Ohio when these two punk teenagers walked up, put a bunch of scrap on the NS tracks, and then started a fire next to the CSX track. I got a photo of them before I called 9-1-1. A cop soon showed up and he knew even on the back of my camera ...

Re: Near Death on CSX

I guess my questions are: 1. Is that a malfunctioning signal and no trains are in the area? 2. Due to angle, lens, etc. is it perhaps not as close a call as it looks? There was a train coming... ...And even though the school denies it, the gate almost hit the bus. It looks like, then, that the bus ...

They have a lot of locomotives for such a small railroad. They were going to begin switching in 30 minutes, but we needed to start heading back towards Columbus.

Geoff and I began yesterday's railfanning journey sitting on the south end of Watkins Yard at Valley Crossing. We stuck around there for a while, but soon heard a CSX train call off "east" on the Northern Subdivision. The chase began! We started heading south and by the time we reached Rohr Road, we...

Re: Fostoria, North Baltimore, and Deshler from 1400 feet.

The Fostoria mayor told me they were going to start having airplane rides a few years back. It all started when I gave them the photos I took when I flew over the town. :)
