This situation has probably happened to all of us. The time you don't bring a camera, is usually when you spot something quite interesting. So, always take a camera along. Just in case... Boxcab E50
Well, there's a big difference between bringing the camera and actually having it out... A couple months ago, I saw new Southern Belle KCSdeM on NS 309 two nights in a row and didn't have the camera out either time!
i brought the camera to the train shoppe just in case we herd something on the scanner now i am not going to miss a trick we saw a BNSF DASH-9 too fast to catch the number down in nanticoke they still bounce over that crossing and a flat spot in a hoppers wheel almost opend up a crack to the earths core the train had a conrail SD60M and a Conrail dash-8 both very clean i got it on videobrfor the snow
What do you do when you go rail fanning in the country side in the snow and there are no trains?:worried::no::unhappy:Then take along the non-train fan wife and see no trains "Explain to me why we are are out here"
Or worse- Turn on your camera. All seems well, time to trip the shutter... And the batteries are too low! WAH! Boxcab E50
Been there... done that. Answer (at least my answer) was to buy her a new house... NEXT TO THE TRACKS so I can railfan from the livingroom. Now I can watch trains all day.... with the 6 year old.... while the wife is in her sewingroom.
my camcorder baterie went dead wale i was filming NS 8890 the onr in ho scale and all of a sudden beeep and the screen went black i had one of my signature hissy fits
