Glad you liked them, Tali (FL-9-Chic)! When I shoot, I try to balance between the locomotives and the scenery.
I was in the black Monte Carlo. boblenon got my car in this picture and my pic here.
I chase the HRRC quite a bit, so I do know some shortcuts, but some of the chasers were a bit on the crazy side. Towards the end, I was on River Road (sb) in New Milford going at what I thought was a crazy speed and I saw cars catching up to me!
Also, many of the chasers were just looking for the head on shot and didn't care about anything else. I tried to get the whole train - that's why I 'only' ended up with 20 locations. Plus I had to pick up the camcorder after my stills.
For the chasers, the weather was actually a plus. It kept many of the leafpeepers off of route 7 which basically parallels the Berkshire Line. If it had been good and sunny weather, I'm sure many of us chasers would have been delayed.
