    If the Lunchtime Express is the daily CP local I can give you a heads up when they are by St Louis Park. I see all the action, coming and going, from my window seat. I only have to get up if I want a better picture from the back door.

    Just missed the cutoff for the "Crossings" contest with these two. Couldn't really decide which. The rolling stock shot is arguably a better picture, but the loco shot has, well, a loco in it.

    This car was in the same train, but I didn't catch the shot until the crossing was out of the frame.

    I don't condone defacing private property, but that's pretty colorful, and would make a nice "tagged" car on a model.

    Hi Mark, Thanks for the kind thoughts. Here's a photo for you from the finished CCRR/Northern Division. I'm taking a break, been gone over 4 months. Hopefully I remembered how to post a photo!? Enjoy, Jim CCRR/Socalz44

    I'm out of the country right now so I have to use some from the archives -
    here's a shot of various resin and metal trucks with plastic trailers.

    This is a Cars-N-Scale resin school bus that I carefully hollowed out and scratch
    built an interior for. I used a second bus to salvage the hood and doors from.

    If you look closely you will see someone is escaping from the back of the bus.

    Rumania Rail inspecting car. I took this photo a few years ago when I was on vacation in Rumania. I grew up here, as a kid I used to sneak into this station all the time and watch the trains pull in and out of here with my friends.

    This picture was a close contender in the "multiple unit" Contest, but in the end I liked the lower-angle shot better:

    I am still experimenting with my camera settings for close-up shots...

    I took this a few months ago before we moved away from Oregon. I think it still works. I'm fairly confidant its a wig-wag. It says it was made by "Magnetic Signal co.-L.A."

    One from me from the 2010 contest, I just liked the others better and the angle gives away the wall flat.

    Hwo many Big Boys do you see in this picture?

    Not sure what year

    I love to shoot engines and then when I catch them on a bridge even better.

    Though nothing in the photo is new, the camera that took the picture is. I figured that wouldn't be enough for the contest though. :p
