So true! That's why I like going to more offbeat locations.

Yeah, those foamers can be annoying. I've had last minute catches myself here and there too. The most recent one was in Lancaster, PA. I had just gotten off of a westbound Amtrak Keystone train when I noticed something approaching on the eastbound track. To my astonishment, it was an extremely rare Amtrak dash-8 wearing the original Phase IV colors and running light to God only knows where! I felt like Rocky Balboa after racing up the steps to the overpass and then practically slid down the railing on the other side onto the eastbound platform. I am so out of breath that I thought I was going to drop dead on the platform at any minute! I fumbled with my backpack to get my camera out of it's pouch, but of course, the damn zipper gets stuck! I finally freed my camera just in time as the magnificent dash-8 rumbled past the platform with ditch lights flashing and bell ringing! I slumped down on the bench after it passed and simply thought to myself: "Damn, that was worth it!"

Thank you, especially after I almost died of a heart attack from running up and down those stairs!

To me, that's what makes a great photographer, being able to improvise on the spot and get the shot anyway. Some might tell you to crop the image on the right, but I think the reflected headlights actually add to the image and would personally keep it just as it is.

Woo! Didn't even know this sucker was on the loose! Speaking of passenger antics, Amcrash 890 just did a test run on the way to St Louis, 110mph between mp75 -90.5. Didn't these old passenger trains run 100+mph regularly a half century ago?

This is a great picture.
The St. Louis Museum of Transportation has a engine much like the one pictured here.

One of my friends out there was also on this side of the tracks at some place and a metra train blocked his view right as it passed.
