It's your Kodachromes - and JBWX's - that I was referring to.
Even my Kodachromes are not as sharp. I have a 15 megapixel SLR and I can run it up to 100% on my high def monitor and get as close as I want and it's sharp. If I had a big enough monitor to fully display an image at 100% it would be on the order of 50 inches or more across.
And I (also?) moved a pole in one of your flanger-train shots that you sent for the screen saver ...
You're not supposed to tell everybody!! Let them guess.
Uh, SFAIK, Kevin's timing wasn't inadvertent, Tom. And I had Stein's foto firmly in my feeble mind ...
My point exactly. He caught a train in the right place at the right time exactly because he was riding a photo freight where every effort was being put forth to accomplish exactly that. For Stein or any of the rest of us shooting regular service, it would have been blind luck to catch comething like that. Blind luck happens, as in the back cover shot of my book, bit it's rare. Even that photo opportunity was probably not as rare as catching the right train at the right time of day in that glint shot of yours and Kevin's.
but not so prosperous that the railroad needed to diseaselize and throw Curmudgeons like you [us] off the property.
Speak for yourself about curmudgeonhood. I'm Mr. Charm Guy myself!!!
It's been well over 40 years now since the last train ran over Cumbres in regular service, and most of the people in this forum probably never had the experience of seeing any of it. From that standpoint I'm glad that they can run these photo freights and give the younger generation a taste of what once was. You can't completely replicate it, but what they do isn't bad. Also, such trips provide access to locations totally inaccessible to most photographers back in the sixties and before.
Certainly, as Mike says, I think the price of the trips should cover the cost of doing whatever is necessary to produce an authentic looking train and to return it back to its Cumbres & Toltec appearance afterward.
