Knowing the roads would be the most important...what shortcuts to take, how to get around the train so you’re not stuck waiting for it, etc.

Depends on the direction of the train, the size of the train, the type of train, etc. Also depends on how frequently you want to photograph the train and how well you know the roads, not to mention how willing you are to exceed the speed limit.

I would say you can chase trains on the GR subdivion. You just have to be strategic and/or plan your encounters farther apart. Also the scanner is very much your friend. And not an online scanner. A real hand held one.

chasing from say Saugatuck area down to Hartford isn’t the easiest, unless you hop on the highway or drive like JT :) Other sections you can get ahead of them easier. Not like chasing a 10-20mph shortline train, that’s for sure.

for the longest time some of my non-railfan friends thought chasing trains meant chasing them on foot for some reason 🗿

that depends on if you’re chasing them on foot or if you’re in a vehicle if you’re on foot you’re SOL if you’re in a vehicle yeah I think you could.
