Atlanta Rails General Someone needs to wye that power. Great shot still! 4/8/2010 12:38:51 AM
William H. Davis Jr. General Actually they did wye the power, but for the worse. The ASAB 510 was leading to begin with as you may have seen in another shot, but it was while the clouds were bad & the light angle wasn't the best. I hoped that the ASAB 510 was going to lead to Abbeville, but that wasn't the case. Like you said though still a great shot, that's all that matters even when you shoot power that's not as desireable 4/8/2010 12:48:09 AM
Bernie Feltman General It was 1/2 a wye!! You did a good job with the lighting and clouds. Someone must have told you about this spot in Newville 4/8/2010 2:30:21 PM
William H. Davis Jr. General Thanks Bernie, I actually had Newville picked out from looking on the Alabama DeLorme. Grimes & Newville were the only 2 shots that were perfectly lit like I prefer. I missed the Grimes shot due to clouds blocking the sun right as the train showed up, so then had to head up to Newville. I appreciate your help though, you never know when I might need it when I forget my maps 4/8/2010 2:35:31 PM
