    If you have a new phone, join in. Here are the rules:

    1. Do not trespass (or violate any other laws in the pursuit of photos or videos).
    2. Be safe (and legal). If you are driving, stop the car in a safe place to use your phone's camera.
    3. All photos must be taken during the period of the thread (i.e. now through July 31, 2013 for this thread).
    4. Photos should be taken with your smartphone (or other similar mobile device) and uploaded. Videos may be embedded from Youtube (or other video site).
    Late getting started this month so let's make up for it with some good pictures.

    You are still not using the right URL. Looks like you are using a mobile URL.

    I hate it when the image lags the moment when you click the shutter. I wanted the nose of the locomotive to just poke out from behind the tower.

    Yes I did. But 90% of my posts here are by smart phone. For some reason all it will let me clip is a mobile version. . Its all good. Got plenty more pics to post from my railfan day...

    That locomotive looks a lot like one of the Kennecott Copper steeplecab electrics that they used in Arizona.

    Russell, I was about ask why an NS unit coal train was going through Texas on its way to Roanoke, VA when I realized that you were in Rocky Mount, NC.
