When I was running charter trains way back then, it became obvious there were two varieties of fans who rode:

1. The guys who wanted the experience of riding the train, seeing the equipment in action and taking in the entire event. They took pics so they could remember the experience.

2. The guys who are hard core photographers who are out there to create the perfect "phraud-o-graph" (just made that up) where there is absolutely no difference between the image they took and an image taken in 1940-whatever. That is all they are interested in. If they could be teleported from on runby site to the next so they didn't have to mess with all that crummy train riding stuff, they would be much happier. In my opinion, these guys will never win. I have yet to see a pic of a modern event that does not have indications of the time frame it was taken.
