[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 653461, member: 10543"] The [I]Star[/I] often runs late, but nothing like it's been recently, so you're probably right. The [I]Meteor[/I] derailed the other night in the Savannah station making a slow backup move through frozen switches and that set the [I]Star[/I] behind schedule that night as well. I learned my lesson with 1/1000th a year or so ago along the ACL main near Florence, SC when my shot of Amtrak's [I]Palmetto[/I] was blurred at 1/640. The former ACL main remains a very fast main; I think Amtrak is cleared for 70+ MPH or more. I wish my D5100 was faster in burst mode. I fast train will move 5 to 6 Feet between shutter actuations and it's hard to time it all by eye. Maybe I'm just building a case for a new camera body. :) [/QUOTE]
