Re: The Steel Wheels Art Gallery featuring railroad art/graffiti
Graffiti on railcars is an act of vandalism and a crime. It also looks tasteless and boring, and people shouldn't be forced to stare at it because a small minority of insufferable teenagers think it looks cool.

Re: Shortlines Train Locations Updates - April 2024
46 cars…wow. As I headed west on Burton over the tracks the train was extended back into the yard near the office, so I figured it ended there. It must have been stretched much further back than I could see for that brief moment.

Re: Scenic places to railfan?
The New Richmond area is probably the most scenic area on the west side of the state if you want to shoot a CSX train, Amtrak, or a coal train.

Re: Railfanning in the Solar Eclipse
Yeah, I’m sure people have had rooms reserved for a few years now too. If I didn’t have to work, I’d just leave early in the morning and come back in the evening. Done that plenty of times shooting trains in Illinois and Indiana anyway. And since it’s in the middle of the day, there wouldn’t be any ...
