Bernie Feltman General 53 53 leading (sounds like timetable instructions for radio/train/dispatcher channels!!!) Very nice catch. Don't pull out your notebook and start writing or you'll be branded a terroist train camera nut 12/29/2009 7:04:57 PM
William H. Davis Jr. General I normally don't shoot this junk. The only reason I did is it was a Military Train. I got blocked by Q220 where I wanted to film the train on an overhead bridge near 24th Street. I had to really step on the gas to beat the train to 13th Street as they move faster through 13th Street now that both NS & CSXT don't have the 10 MPH restriction that was on the 13th Street Interlocking for years. I drove up, got out, climbed the hill, got my shot & right back to my car. Perfect timing. Not to mention I was lucky with all the red lights being green. Doesn't always work out in my favor & when it doesn't I have to keep chasing until I get a shot 12/29/2009 9:22:31 PM
