Great shots Dave and your doing a heck of a good job with the scenery. I believe my favorite is the 5th one down. Looks like the morning run to Possum Bluff, Ga.

My favorite is the 2nd one, the "mid-day sun" shot of the engine terminal. With the electrical panel and the WS bags cropped off-screen, it reminds me of some of the prototype photos I used to get when I had to avoid going on railroad property.

Very nice Dave, thank's for sharing with us. I'm kind of attracted to the last photo as it reminds me of a very early morning sunrise shot. Would have been much more convincing if the paint can wasn't there , but what the heck, it's work in progress and it's still a excellent scene.

Thanks everyone for the kind words!
Sorry about the various materials in the photos, this very much
a "work in progress"... "progress" being a little slow sometimes.

Good luck, Dave

I like the 3rd one down the best. The detail of that Specrtum mountain is shown quite clearly. Though it could use a little weathering...
