High speed film can cause a grainy image. However the latest and greatest slide films, Fuji's Provia line, have great grain structure that's barely noticeable when enlarged. Film has come a long, long way since Kodachrome 200...

Use a faster shutter speed and smaller aperture. Most railfans shooting fast action set aperture priority to 1/500 and shoot without any problems. Another solution is to always use a tripod. That's one of the biggest points with any type of photography. You'll also need to make sure your shots are i...

There is only one: The Milwaukee Road by Fred Hyde (Hyrail 1990). Everything else does not compare. The photo reproduction is superb and the volume covers the extremities of the Milwaukee system, from Louisville, Kentucky to Portland, Oregon. It's worth every penny you'll pay for it on the used mark...

Not all Wal-Mart stores send film to Dwayne's. Those in the southern Great Lakes go to a lab in Tennessee; they used to go to Mansfield, Ohio. Because the Tennessee lab is utterly incompetent and unrepentant I have switched to using Fuji mailers that go to Dwaynes.

Is there a way to find out the schedules that industries have pickups/setouts? Yep, get out and look for 'em. Be warned, though, many shortlines and branch locals don't operate on weekend. I'd suggest looking for the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic, practically in your backyard at Peninsula. Best of all, th...

Not only, but the Oregon Electric had some big freight motors that later saw service in the Midwest on the Chicago, North Shore & Milwaukee.

Good to see other train/transit/anime fans on here.

Not to my knowledge. I guess I'm still living in the past!

Just wondering if anybody else around here is interested in the "other" CSX, you know, the one west of Buffalo and north of Cincinnati. It doesn't seem to get nearly the amount of discussion on here compared to the rest of the system, especially the Northeast. So is anybody else out there ...

It may be of interest, but apparently it isn't. That's a real shame. I can't wait to get my hands on it. There's a lot can be learned from Boyd, Shaughnessy, Steinheimer, etc. for the members here, too.

The Toledo Branch Subdivision through Bowling Green currently has six regular freight trains plus a local based in Kenton and extras as-needed.

Per my sources from this past weekend a location for the roundhouse hadn't been chosen yet. Has that been changed this week?

You mean the best place in the South. There are plenty of other places in the country with twice as many trains, or more...
