Greg,
This is very good I believe you are on to something that could not only interest the photographer in all of us but, when the train stops and the dosents explain that this stop is for certain photograph payers, soon maybe all if not some of the other riders are going to want to do this too down the road, it will drive the interest in the railroad up. I beleive it could be used at least as a tool to see if more folks would be wanting to try this.
