Wow, a great shot! F7's are my favorite because I had my photo made with one (see http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=207883). The story is terrific, too. I'm adding this one to my favorites as research for a garden railroad. PCA material!

WOW! Awesome photo.
|
Thats a nice write up with a laugh Chuck. Always enjoy your photos and the story with them. Regards

In my mind, this one is nearly perfect and will make this week's choice a bit more difficult for all the marbles. I rode the snow train in January of this same year and loved every minute of it. I wanted to return for this shot myself, but never did due to my commitments with steam in the fall elsewhere. I'm glad you got it, and so well at that!
|
Man, the trees mach the train, great shot! PCA from me.

Chuck... Well, I wondered what you were saving back for your 1000th photo contribution and you didn't disappoint me! Your selection is one of the nicest I've ever seen of the Montreal River bridge and I loved reading your story about how you captured this beautiful view with five F-units!! Well done, my friend, and this deserves a PCA from me. Thank you for all your earlier 999 classic views and I hope there's many more to come!
|
Great one Chuck, you should publish a book of your photos along with the stories, excellent stuff.

Oh My! I was expecting someting BIG for #1,000 but this just blows that expectation completely out of the water! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY MAMMOTH!!! Terrific Job Chuck!!!
|
Excellent shot and story Chuck. As you know, I have always appreciated your posts. Being from the L.P. (but always a Yooper at heart ;), I especially enjoy Michigan photography. Congrats! on Number 1000!

Way to go, Chuck!! Over 2450 views (and counting), "Favorited" by 66 viewers (and counting) and "Top Viewed" for the past 24 hours! I have a feeling we'll be seeing this wonderful photo again on the home page. Congrats on all counts, but I have to ask, what are you going to post for an encore? ;-)

Chuck, first off, congratulations on the 1000 photos. Your story was excellent and really suckered in the viewer to sit there and just imagine what was going on as it was happening throughout the day, or at least at me. Exceptional story telling to detail this fantastic photo. A worthy PCA vote from me. Thanks for sharing this story, and photo Chuck. Your effort is rewarded.
|
One word (or acronym), PCA!! Beautiful shot and a delightful story!
|
Yeah, I'd say that's pretty special, Chuck. WOW!
|
Three words describe this photo.PCA and thanks for the caption. Picture and caption blow me away.
|
Great shot and a wonderful story. Thanks for sharing.
|

Nothing more to add to what has already been said about the train. Tremendous. But as gardener who plants trees, Wow, those trees.
|
Great pic made me sign up as member been checkin site 4 years just like any thing train , lived in the soo 1968 i travel and allways are looking for old trains now I may have to post some pics
|
That is a great shot, I have been trying out my new camera at my usual spot by the diner in Rudyard but the best shot I had the chance to get I forgot to put my SD card back in my camera. It is awsome that the conductor was able to hold the train like that another job well done!

Fine shot of a leaving epoch
