More B&O, but this from 03/1988 at Montgomery, AL.

Thank you and @crashton as well. Setting the time, place and details of a rail photograph is important to me, otherwise it's just a picture without any sort of footing. I sometimes see rail photos out there on the web that capture interesting things, but lack any sort of supporting detail...

Overcast day at the B&O's summit of the Allegheny Mountains, Sand Patch, PA, 11/28/1981. It was Thanksgiving weekend and I couldn't make the long trip home, so joined some friends for an overnight jaunt to Cumberland, MD and environs. The Holiday Inn there was well known for its grand...

That's really cool and I like the use of black and white there. I'd not heard of this railroad before, so looked it up. 56 miles and an interesting route map of various heritages.

So then you were able to take what I uploaded and use AI software to improve it? If so, what did you use? I have only Corel Paint Shop Pro.

I have probably since re-scanned those old images, but I'd first need to find them on this thread. Maybe someday I'll try to work that through.

I see that the scans I uploaded before the software change look small, but they were larger when seen on the old software. Per @nikonpup 's discovery, If you click on them, they get larger. The images uploaded on the new software are okay in size, like today's Bluefield, WV picture right? I...

Norfolk & Western SD-40-2 6159 keeps the faith nearly six years into Norfolk Southern ownership on a chilly 04/12/1988 at Bluefield, WV. [Nikon N2020, Kodachrome]

We came across this cool acoustic version of Sweet Home Alabama from 1994 on the Endangered Species album.

Your post appeared after mine and so that I am clear, is my picture showing a watermark on your side? I uploaded it directly from my computer, so I'm thinking/hoping not. Just want to be sure.

Our li'l VW Golf trash talking with a Corvette Stingray C8. :p

Finally found some time to chase a train, with my quarry CSX L647. First picture was taken at Camden, SC and the second at Elgin, SC. This isn't a busy line, with only three freight trains a day, plus Amtrak at night.

Not sure if I've posted this one before from March 1975 at Chicago's Union Station. ATK 315 is a former PRR E-8.

One of the cleanest units I've seen was Norfolk Southern's Virginian Heritage Unit, taken 04/20/2013 when it was nearly new. Sadly, these specially painted locomotives have since become as dirty as all the others. It's not an NS phenomenon though, as grime pervades throughout most of the nation.

I think the worst looking locomotive I've ever seen was this CSX monstrosity at Greenwood, SC on 09/28/1991. Looks like something out of a Stephen King horror film doesn't it? :eek:

Taken yesterday at Lowell, NC was Train 283 led by three BNSF locomotives. I like this location a bunch with the vintage Southern Railway signal bridge. The shot's backlit, but I've seen very few BNSF units and am glad to have it. That's my wife to the left in matching orange shirt. :)

Today's Train 15R in Blythewood, SC at track speed, pourin' on the coal as it were.

From 06/13/1997 at Pendernal, NM. Was there ever a finer paint scheme than the Santa Fe's Warbonnet? [Nikon N2020, Kodachrome]

:o I've done this sort of thing too when the wait for a train becomes too much to endure, shooting birds, bugs, weeds and whatever else might help pass the time. Seaboard Coast Line lock, 11/15/1992 Southern Pines, NC [Nikon N2020, Kodachrome]

From the mid-1970s at Rondout, IL, a Milwaukee Road caboose. These were painted orange, so another shot I wish I had on Kodachrome! Oh well. Note the special trucks to give the crew a better ride. [Nikkormat FTn, 50mm Nikkor]
