When I see a shot like this, I look for the item of interest that the photog wants me to see in the sharp areas? Maybe if you'd put a penny on the rail, it would have taken me back & given me something to think about. ;)

Bingo! I really like this shot and was looking at it for some time wondering to myself what it was "missing", or how it could be punched up a bit. Great idea PhotosGuy, and it puts it in perspective for me.

Nice work By-tor.

Yeah I messed up.. sorry...

Here ya go.. A shot of Frankenherk 64-0539.. A buddy of mine (LZ) was onboard when it crashed in the early 80's in the Azores. While stationed at Pope in the 80's I recovered 0539 when it came back from depot. It had 0539 on the nose but the ID plates on the dash board said 68-0946.
The Pope weather evac'ed to The Rock and I just happened to see a old friend parked on the ramp..

Do that today and get caught and you'd be charged with an act of terrorism.
But hey I done it many a time and no train was ever derailed by a coin of mine :)
