[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 160902, member: 10543"] Train photography is probably a lot like animal photography, where a lot of patience is required and the ability to imagine a composition that won't be in the viewfinder until something fills it, and having a good sense of when to trip the shutter and doing it all while staying safe. I have some friends who are VERY good at it and put my shots to shame. The "Heritage" locomotives that you are seeing here are modern adaptations of old historic paint schemes. In Norfolk Southern's case, the railroad painted twenty new locomotives in old paint schemes for NS's 30th Anniversary, each honoring an old railroad that is part of today's NS. Each locomotive is a jewel and as rare, as they circulate systemwide, mixed amongst NS's thousands of other locomotives. [/QUOTE]
