You probably won't get a chance to see 4610 like this ever again. NS repainted her in early 2012 into the fleet's standard black and white as an Operation Lifesaver unit.

I know and later it will be rebuilt into a GP59E slug master. But no worries there is a heritage fleet coming.

It was "bad angle" which really pissed me off because I know I would've got common angle from my usual angle.

considering half the photos i see on there are from 100 yards away with no zoom and half blurry, it figures, you are submitting good shots, you need to submit blurry shots of what might possibly be a train...

It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't see several photos taken from this angle getting accepted.
What pisses people off most about railpics is hypocracy not the face they get rejected. They get rejected then they see someone else submit something of the same caliber and say "Hey I tried that before and when I did that it got axed." Yes it does piss people off to understandably.

which makes me think someone else (preferably a photgrapher with some rail knowledge) would start a site.... if only i had the time and money myself...

There is rrpicturearchives but the waiting period to get on good there can be forever.

yeah... i like DA works, you are free to submit and they might move a photo to a different gallery but they are pretty leinient about what is art (as opposed to what could be a myspace or facebook type photo) and lets not even get into the whole is it art ot porn on here...

If you don't get it on RPN, don't feel too bad. This is a an awesome shot! They just don't generally tend to care about trivial things like, idk...QUALITY lol

Well I really care less about rpn I'm actually 2 for 26 there XD.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep, sounds about like me. And my pics are definitely good. Yours are awesome as well, so I'm glad rpn doesn't worry you much

Dont mention it. Im probly one of a handfull of railfans that has the Southern pride or as I also like to call the Southern fever.

I prefer the ex-SOU/NW units over the old Conrail units to.

I prefer the Southern units over everything else. It use to be the NS that I liked the most till I got the Southern fever.

I get into CSX a bit to but I prefer NW/SOU overall. Being in Aiken SC we have one of the first ever Southern predecessor lines which is the SCRR where the best friend of Charleston used to run.

I hear ya. I dont really know what we have up here in North Carolina that would really come close to that.

About the railfan group, Do you have the power to grant affiliation?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I already did send a request
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And I already sent in my vote. Now I just have to wait for my co-founder. Oh and that place down in GA, I asked on of those people who' name you gave me. After seeing the website I realized that I was there a few years ago.

Well you're a step ahead of me then I plan to go in the future though.

How much fuel is in your Deloreum.

I'll keep the chatroom deal in mind. Honestly spencer just isn't all that good to me after going there probly 50 times, that and its I dont know how far from Wayne county and they dont even have the 604, or as it will be know eventully the BC&G #4, running now because all the money is probly going toward getting the backshop remodled.

Well a few other people ~Lordofthetrains , ~Adlake , and ~CNW8646 work at SRM in Georgia where they have a couple of ex-Sou Machines running.

Southern name still on 'em?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yup they have 8202 which runs and they have a few steamers they are trying to get to run.
Also NS is bringing back the steam program and out of TVRM 630 AND 4501will be coming back with 630 hitting the rails next month.

I wish they would bring 'em here to Spensor so that for once I can enjoy the sights sounds and smell of an old ironhorse again. Id like to see it when they return to the high iron. I guess in a way you could say that the the Southern railway is still alive then. A Dash 9 painted in the Southern black would be really cool.

I'm sure they'll be in spencer for some reason eventually

Is that shop open to the public by any chance.

You'll have to ask them I've never been

Ask them about that one

I think that the green is better suited for the E8 units like 6900 and FP-7 units like 6133, while the black looks better on the freight units like the Southern's SD40-2s that I like to run on the club layout and also on locomotives like GP-30 2601. But its looks good in green too.
