Western Railroad Discussion > Anybody figuring the cost of that photo today?

With the cost of a barrel of crude at a record high of $66.00 and lingering refinery problems, I see all of these issues ending up in our pocket book. So, the cost of a single photo of our favorite railroad image continues to escalate. How high do they have to raise the price of fuel or gasoline before it slows the rail chasers down??

One way to look at it- fuel costs will only get higher! So quit your jobs now and git 'er done!

For me it depends on what is out there. I've been in my current location long enough to not bother with much of anything other than AOE/OCS/Circus or similar.

What I find happening more and more is the basic fly/drive. There are some really outstanding airfare bargains. Just gotta be a bit flexible with travel daze and airports.
