I'm sitting on WES on a Wilsonville layover waiting to head back north. Wireless Internet access is a major perk!

Tigard was giving mugs in the morning. I was on the 7:37a north out of there which also had the two-unit set as did the final southbound out of Beaverton in the morning.

Re: Urban-Rail Failures?

Cleveland's last light rail expansion through the Flats to the waterfront is a flop. Very few people, mostly tourists, ride it and it's rather devoid of commercial development since the Flats neighborhood cleared out.

Throughout this past week the first departure north from Wilsonville in the evening and the subsequent first departure south from Beaverton has had the two-unit set. I'd be interested in tracking regular operations with others and noting which equipment is on which run to aid in future photographic ...

Wow! The last time I was in there those were still dark and there was a train sheet on the desk! As for the value of your photo, unless you're a professional deriving a majority of your income from photography, you can forget $500. It might not hurt to ask for that, but they might not give you a cha...

Yesterday I had a chance to preview the upcoming WES operations with a ride and a reception with a tour of the shops in Wilsonville as the moderator mentioned. The equipment is great. The basic cars were built by Colorado Railcar Manufacturing and sent to Oregon for finishing by Tri-Met. (That is an...

I have to ask, Jim, are you confusing the Ann Arbor trainwatchers club with the Ann Arbor Railroad Hysterical Society? I've never heard of the later doing monthly slide shows, but I know of members in the former and of their regular slide shows.

I shot the two-unit DMU set twice today in Tigard. I have heard this is the last week for the all-day test runs; beginning on Monday the crews will start running on the regular service schedule. Get those mid-day shots while you can!

That explains where Hulcher was going this afternoon.

Also, you'll need to edit your post to include smaller photos. Users shouldn't have to scroll horizontally to see the whole image.

I can't believe Kodak released another batch of Kodachrome. I thought for sure the last batch was... the last batch. Heh.

Not all Wal-Mart stores send back to Dwayne's. I checked in to that and, at least in northern Ohio, Wal-Mart ships outgoing film to a lab in Tennessee.

Re: How can I get better RR action shots?

You mean shutter priority, right? Yes, that's what I meant. I get 1/500 with 100 speed film regularly, but I generally only shoot on sunny days. That's another point to raise, cloudy and dark days will limit your ability to shoot sharp photos. On those days you'll need to crank up the ISO setting, ...
