CAPTURED!
CAPTURED!
On October 27, 2012, I took a side-trip to Niles while on my way to Elkhart to get a picture of an Amtrak train crossing the St. Joseph River in Niles.
While walking back to my car, a "GoogleMaps" car drove by.
I was wondering if the camera was running.....apparently it was!
I guess I can't get away with anything...big brother is watching.

I just got that reference and fixed the date on my original post. I don't plan on being in Niles on 10/27/13 because the last Sunday of October is normally the Kalamazoo Model RR Club's Show/Swap Meet in Kalamazoo.
I no longer write 2012 when I write dates on checks, etc.
Unfortunately I don't write 2012 when I mean to write it!
Oh, and you should know I wasn't time traveling. I have a Cavalier not a DeLorean.

As planned, I went to Kalamazoo on 10/27/13. (I chased the 611 on Saturday..looking at everyone's photos, looks like Sunday was a better day weatherwise.)Jochs wrote:MKT_fan11 wrote:Nice.

I did get a picture of Amtrak crossing a river though.
Here is train 352 crossing the Kalamazoo River shortly after departing Kalamazoo, MI.
This one looks different because I played with the settings while the train was going by.
It is also interesting to see how many more leaves are on the trees this year as compared to a year ago. Last year, because of the drought, trees dropped their leaves earlier.
Niles and Kalamazoo are not close enough to Lake Michigan to be affected to much temperature-wise, so both locations would look the same as far as leaf-changing is concerened. So when comparing two different years with two different locations doesn't make much difference. (Many trees in St. Joseph in recent years still had a lot of leaves on them going into December due to Lake Michigan moderating the climate right along the lakeshore.)

I meant 765!
I shouldn't post when I am half-awake.
Too bad it wasn't the 611, I've seen 765 several times in the last several years. I would also like to see the 1218 running again.
