      Anyone here into photographing railroad subjects? Years ago, I was interested in both photography and trains, and took a lot of photos of them, mostly with an old Miranda 35mm camera. I still like photography, but I don’t chase trains any more...lol

      Anyway, to get things started, I’ll post a few of the ones I’ve taken for any who are interested. Feel free to post any you have taken, but please don’t post generic pics found on the net.

        I really like the fourth one from the top!

        Looks great as is and would look awesome in a sharp contrast black at white.

            Nice pics, Dale. I was always a train lover and seeing both steam engines and diesel brings back memories.

              A couple of those are right in the pocket of Big Dub's painting technique. You guys might do a collaboration.

                    These are great, some of which could be a nice challenge for me to paint. I love them. The older the better, of course.

                        Here are two related to the Union Pacific Railroad. One is a great scale model of the Boise Train Depot and the other is “Big Mike” a restored Locomotive sitting outside the Depot there in Boise.

                                    I love hiking old railroad lines. Below Harrisburg there is a freight line called the Enola it had no grades more than 1% it is 36 miles long. I hiked it many times. I will dig some pics.

                                      The Virginia Creeper trail in southwestern VA is a really nice one.

                                        The Hopewell, NJ train station, where our community band does about 4 concerts each summer, weather permitting.
                                        Almost every concert is visited by at least one passing freight train. The station is no longer in operation for passengers.9BC1C84F-5D64-4851-A43A-D912549D3350.jpeg
