    I just updated my website too (link at bottom, in my signature line) with a couple dozen pics, including some CSX photos... here is one that was a heartbreaker for me:
    [​IMG]

    This is a picture of the "Tropicana Juice Train" that is seen passing the restored Rocky Mount station. It is actually a cutout of a much larger picture. What happened is I jumped out of the car and took this as a "sample" picture.... by the time the train appeared closer to me, the lens of my camera had fogged up completely due to the high humidity :mad: and I ended up with (basically) no picture :(

    Anyway, this update contains CSX, NS, short line, and foreign power pictures.

    Actually that is still a very nice picture. You got some extra railroady stuff in the picture. So don't be hard on yourself. One of these days that picture will be a good reference for modeling the equipment shack, the signals and crossing gates, not to mention the storefronts of the downtown.

    As for humidity, been there and done that.

    Harold,
    Great picture it really sets the scene. Was it your pic that has been posted in "More than trains" taken of a high speed turnout and frog?

    Folks,
    Thanks for the positive comments. I kind of like the picture, but it just wasn't what I planned to capture. :(
