Anyone recognize this photo?

This is a photo of CSX 2680 with Y106 crossing the Thornapple River bridge, taken 2/4/2011. The only reason why I know the date, is because Jon Hall photographed it the same day:

Is this anyone here's photo? The seller is in Pasco, WA so I think it's unlikely that it's really his photo, and looks like something JT or the like would shoot.

It is rsinoms! I knew I recognized it. Off railpictures. This guy on EBay looks like he's ripping of scores of folks, if he doesn't have permission --- and I doubt he does!!!

Yes sir, just happened to be searching for some railroad artifacts and it popped up. Seems the guy steals a lot of photos and is making some mu-la on it.... sad indeed.

Ripping off is certainly the right term! I've never seen stills for that much, especially contemporary ones. Granted I don't look often. Looks like they have no idea about trains based on the title. And I bet your "professional" print is done via inkjet printer :lol:

There's another one that I'm pretty sure is on the SP 4449 was on GLC from his store. All I can say is what an idiot.. If people buy that instead of just ripping the images and printing an 8x10 themselves they probably deserve to be ripped off with his high prices :lol: not saying I think what he's doing is right just saying that if anyone buys the stuff they too are idiots.

Andrew does have a photo of 4449 at Carland on RP, but it's a different angle from the photo on ebay.
