Pulling up just short of the diamond so the conductor can work out which switch to throw.

 

I actually updated my train blog! Though not with this spotting. Yet.

Slowing to a crawl after dropping off the conductor and brakeman.

Two shots posted of same image - one with control points and warping...which points out of the two shots do you like and not like.

 

I didn't like the sky in the top right corner so I cropped some of it out and toned it down in the control points version.

I also didn't like the smaller building on the left so squared that up....which lost me the big flower pot thing on left side.

The lighting on the grass was too central so I spread it out and up on the control points shot....I also greyed the clouds on the left with some more control point work.

There are some other control points but do they matter to your eye or not?

CSX 673 and 536 approach the East Rockford control point west bound at mile post 85.60 on the CN Freeport Subdivision in Rockford, Illinois. The consist is mostly a unit train of empty ethanol tank cars with a few pieces of manifest freight mixed in. This is the former site of the IC/CB&Q diamond.

Taken from the east end. Sorry it is a rough stitch, Hugin didn't have a lot to work with for controlpoints in the middle sections.

UP 6586 and 7293. Stationary, before you yell at me. The conductor was working at the switch box while the engineer kept her warm.

A CSX freight passes the Restricting signal at West Trenton. Notice the SEPTA yard to the side.

CN 5655 and CN 2597 lead 2 buffer cars and a loaded ethanol unit train eastbound at milepost 86.30 on the CN Freeport Subdivision in Rockford, Illinois.

Yes, before you ask I WAS standing on a signal tower, and yes I know this is trespass most foul but the engineer smiled and waved, and I WAS right at his eye-level, sooooo..

I found this at Newfound Gap in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. My friend, George, worked for the US Coast and Geodetic Survey, as a surveyor (What else?) When I find these I often photograph them and send them to him. Why? Well, for one thing, it often reminds him of some good stories..

 

I think this is on the NC/TN state line.
