Weekend Photos - 11/9/18

Postby christopher2035 » Thu Nov 08, 2018 9:34 pm

Happy early Friday!!

Posting tonight as I'll be heading back from my week long to Atlanta tomorrow, so won't get a chance to post.

Started doing some scenery in the 5 minutes I was home last week :)

NS SD40E 6303 (ex NS SD50 6523) brings up the rear of eastbound coal drag 590, as it descends down 'the slide' & into the New Portage Tunnel in Gallitzin, PA

A grazing cow hardly takes notice as NS ET44AC 3630 grinds up Christiansburg grade with a coal drag.

Love the details on/around the retaining wall near the water tower and the "arch" effect of the track in the photo near Gallitzen. The last shot at Austell has great composition with multiple 3D arcs. It also looks like the track nearest you needs some work. That CWR is showing some serious wear.

Nice shot in museum. The train equipment is so clean and shiny they almost look like toys!

The photos are great, but I'm experiencing a very strange error. For the past 3 days every time I try to post a photo, I get: "Board attachment quota reached." I've reported the error to the administrators. :?

So I am surprised to see this thread appear with photos today. I tried once again to upload a photo and got the same message. :shock:

Is anyone else experiencing this? :cry:

Thanks,

George

I think the MTJ image repository is full. Christopher's photos are linked via his Flickr account.

George, the board limit is very low. Don't rely on the board, for photo hosting. As Healey mentioned, Christopher uses Flickr for photo hosting. So do I. They still have free accounts.

I never noticed the rail until you pointed it out!! Funny what each person notices in a photo!

I agree with the above comments. I was not sure about the track needing work because my eye
problems make some straight lines to look sort of wavy to me so just attributed that to my eyes. :(

Healey and Roy - thanks! I didn't realize that. I will have to get a Flickr account. I have some real progress photos that I know you and Roger are waiting for. :lol:
