Re: Be careful out there

Tom,
Your post takes me back over thirty years to one of my first steam train trips. 4501 running from Louisville to Huntingburg, Indiana and return. This is what I saw from the train:

Two lane (bi-directional) rural highway next to the tracks.Two lanes of railfan vehicles running with us in the same direction. The guy standing in the bed of a pickup, camera on a tripod firing away at fifty miles per hour. The guy standing on the passenger seat of a car body thru an early sun roof taking pictures. The guy leaning out the window firing away with both hands on his camera, oh did I mention he was the driver!

Unfortunately, the behavior is not new. The only amazing thing is that there are not more bodies lying around out there.
