I’m presenting a speech about the trains that come through our town and need a free photo (jpg) of car/s carrying limestone. Aerial shot would be preferable so you can see the freight.
Thanks,

You might want to give prospective photographers a little help here:
Where is your town? People would like to be able to identify with your location in the photographs.
What is the nature of your speech? People are here because they like trains, and if your speech is going to be an indignant diatribe against the railroad, you’ll have very few willing participants.
My town is on the BNSF line in northern Minnesota and a lot of traffic comes through after offloading from ships in Duluth Twin Ports.
The purpose of my speech at Toastmastersis to get people excited about watching the trains that come through - the whole world is passing before their eyes and all they think about is what a pain the waiting is. Most people have no idea about the complexity of railroading, while enthusiasts live, eat and breathe railroading. My speech is an attempt to bridge that gap.
Specifically, limestone ships from Michigan into Duluth and is delivered by train to Crookston/Grand Forks, ND area for use in sugar beet processing. My speech is an overview, so the photo doesn’t have to be BNSF cars loaded with limestone. The presentation involves a PowerPoint slide show, so a jpeg or TIFF file would be ideal.
I’m sorry that there are people who are against railroads…please don’t assume that; I’m not one of them!!

Sorry…what are you asking me for? Are you a conductor?
