David et al -

While I agree with Rader that we have the right to present our creative content as we see fit, I have to agree with Michael that starting an entirely new thread or even a separate post within a thread for each and every photo of a sequence taken the same day of the same train only ¼ or ½ a mile farther along the track is distracting at best and counterproductive at worst when it makes following the story difficult.  And as people respond to one thread or post more than others, even though they started out in sequence the various parts of the story become more and more scattered from one another, making it harder and harder to follow the action.  OTOH, as a professional nit-picker it behooves me to point out that runningfivephotosalltogether without even a blank line between them, much less individual comments, makes it hard to look at each one of them on its own.

And while we're on the subject of #425 Before, I like seeing the tank cars with the yellow UTLX in the train, and would like to see #425 in her present Chrome Yellow scheme pulling these cars, or at least see a photo of her next to them in the yard.   Tanks in advance to one or more of you fortunate souls enjoying the VIHR this week for responding to this request up to the fill line.
