Most railroaders pronounce that “KK”.
The BNSF shot looks suspiciously like the winning shot from last installment, just without the cemetery. So, my vote went to the Soo / pigeons shot.
Hi all,
I may end up regretting this, but I voted for my old arch enemy Bergie*, and here’s why.
I liked what Drew’s shot “could have been” better, but I think that doggone winged varmint right at the front of the locomotive ruined the shot. I liked that Drew didn’t zoom so far in on the lead unit – the inclusion of at least a little bit of scenery gives the shot some context. This would have been a nearly perfect photo if A Flock of Seagulls hadn’t decided they, too, liked trains.
Now, as for Bergie’s shot, I agree with what Loadmaster said above: all that’s missing is a cemetery!
- No, actually I enjoy quite a nice friendship with Bergie, but it still smarts to vote for him after he creamed me in so many previous editions of Trackside.
I like the new format.
Perhaps the last winner should get a five star avitar. [:D]
I voted for Bergies “In your face” BNSF shot.I love that clean sweeping curve. In Drew’s photo the foreground was too cluttered for my taste.I would most likely have voted for Drew’s second snow shot,the one with the bright red CP unit,but the voting seems to be going his way anyhow.Those were both great photos.
Both shots this time around are good stuff…but Drew’s pigeon-cam perspective is a lot more interesting, and my vote has gone there to roost.
