Good luck to this week’s eight participants!

I went with Michael Berry’s photo. It has a good mix of locomotive models and liveries to add some color to the sameness of an oil train.
Went with Dons’ shot…while Anthony’s was very colorful, it was not a consist…Don’s was, and had the “best” mix of motive power.
So this train has not run in a month or so… I guess that explains why we are paying CDN $1.14.9 a liter for gasoline here in Ottawa. Thats equal to about US $3.80. and all along I was buying the wild fires in Alberta excuse.
Great picture!!You have my vote.
I went with Don’s shot as well - although Mike’s came in a close second. In fact, I had to check my cell phone to see if I had the same consist as shot at Utica a while back.
Turned out that the only thing the two shots had in common was a BC Rail “Draper Taper” unit following a CN unit…
I picked Michael Berry’s over Don’s, mostly because you could see the various locomotives better. The museum train of cabooses I discounted as a novelty than true railroading.
I went with Michael’s. I liked the composition, the subject matter, and the location with the same type of housing unit repeating into the distance, just like the repeating tank cars. But what I first noticed about this image was the sharpness. I bet the hi-res version of that photo is really amazing!
Gary image was my runner-up. There are alot of things in his photo to keep one quite interested for a while (like what’s with the road grade crossing protection sign at the clearance point for the spur?)
