only shots that keep showing up, but that's just me. Out Date: 11/30/21 21:26 Re: JPBX 918 on train 245, Caltrain under wire Author: ssloansjca Thanks, it really helps that the train was crossing over from track 5 to track 6. The poles reduce options there now.

There's a bunch of utility boxes on the platform I'm going to try standing on them and using a wide angle lens. To try to counteract the headon thing. |
