Western Railroad Discussion > Sometimes you don't need a TrainDate: 03/28/24 19:07 Sometimes you don't need a Train Author: Vicksburg_Route I went out to shoot on the Meridian Speedway late this afternoon, and I hoped to shoot a train in the gorgeous light during golden hour.
As dead as the Speedway is these days, you would think I would have known better, so I got this shot as a consoliation prize. I guess that sometimes you don't need a train.

Date: 03/29/24 04:10 Re: Sometimes you don't need a Train Author: Vicksburg_Route Thanks. Sometimes it happens. I'm not sure why, but it started after PTC implementation. The signals may light up many blocks ahead of an approaching train and stay lit for a while. Some actually stay illuminated constantly.

JB Date: 03/29/24 09:51 Re: Sometimes you don't need a Train Author: ExStarlightHog Looks like a nice little dip in the track before the signal. Hope the track speed here isn't too fast until they can level that off.
