I have some more pictures from last night but I'll post those later.

Give me a week or two and I can post several rainy trains (on two videos). Chesterton was rainy an 3/23

Railroading in the rain sucks

Same with railfanning, especially filming with a non-waterproof camera
Especially when its windy and wants to tear the umbrella from your hands

Rain and railroading almost broke my butt one day last summer. Let's just say that steps get very slippery when wet.

Best raining shot for me:

No, theres a difference. Railfanning, you don't have to to get out. Railroading, you do

Yeah, I guess you "win" about the fact that you lose

Zack and Michael, both photos are just spectacular. Nice job.

Funny thing about that was it was sunny, then a massive cloudburst with one of those really strong downpours came and I just pulled the car over perpendicular to the tracks and rolled down the passenger side window enough to shoot from my seat without getting wet - I think the resulting tele compression helped accentuate some of the rain but it was coming down so hard it felt like sitting under a waterfall. It was hitting the train & ground so hard & rapidly you can see the back splash or spray. Train passed and about 5 min later so did the rain and it cleared up to sunny again after that. Weird weather afternoon that day.

Here are some pictures of D700-25 headed east through Riverside, MI, on their way to Grand Rapids after leaving Benton Harbor. These were taken at 3:31pm, 4/25/12, during a light rain.
