Hey guys, I had a question I was hoping somebody would help me out with. There's an old train car (I think it's a caboose) that has been on the tracks in Watertown, S.D., for a few weeks now. It seems to be older and I've never seen anything like it out there before. How would I go about identifying it and finding out when and where it was made? I took a few photos, but they're too large to post here, but I can email them if someone is interested in seeing it. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Well...
Assumning your camera is digital, it should have come with an editing program that you can utilize to reduce the size of your pictures. If not, then you should be able to download the program from the manufacturer. Or, if they're on actual film, just scan your shots and download them on your computer.
Join photobucket or another site that allows you to post pictures FOR FREE online. I'm a member and that's where I keep the pictures of the Preston Historical Society's Interpretive Center project online. I keep the pictures there and they give you an "img" url that you can copy and paste onto an online blog or forum (like rr.net). Photobucket also gives you the ability to edit your photographs as needed.
Once you've done that, then post your shots here and we can all get a better view of what you're talking about.
Or...
If you give a description of the car and/or if you have the car number we can also help you in that respect as well.
