Yeah, I'm not gonna make it like I planned. Oldest daughter has homecoming and we are working that Saturday. Maybe next time...

I plan on being there, I will probably head down that Friday afternoon / evening.

This is also why I don't care for the DSLR manufacturers making the switch to the SD cards from CF cards.

There are links to some railfan guides in the Railfan Wiki here on the site. I started the ones for Michigan but haven't had a chance lately to get back to linking photos to the locations that they were shot. There are a few with more to come. There's quite a few added to the guides for Ohio, person...

First of all, you need to stop shooting on full auto and learn what every mode of your camera does. Learn how to shoot in manual and what it can do for your photos.

I seriously doubt it will be anything like the last "Train Festival" as they really didn't make a whole lot of money from it.

Drove by it yesterday and it's completely leveled now, except for the powerplant out back. Looks like quite a bit of the first half where they started the demolition is pretty well cleaned up now except for small piles of scrap.

Sorry guys, we've got overtime that Saturday. Maybe I can make the Fall meet.

.... but what major customer loss did CSX have that made it "a matter of time" before CSX would shortline everything North of Flint? Auto/GM traffic was a HUGE loss. In Flint..... Buick City (Assembly plant) closed in 1999. Peregrine plant (old Delphi plant on Coldwater Road) was closed in 1998 Del...

Railfanning....what's that? Seems like forever since I've been able to do that. I plan on being there, hopefully from Friday through Sunday. Pffft. What are you talking about? A life? A job? The weather? Oh those are no excuses :). I know right? Lol, more like a family, a job, and the cost of gas :...

Flint... Q321, Q322, and then of course grain and coal run as needed.

The 7D is a fine camera, and if there's issues with high ISO's then I'm gonna say that's a user problem :mrgreen: Focusing is excellent and quick on those, have shot weddings with them and they are great cameras.
