Charger Living Up to Its Name
Author: MaryMcPherson

I was headed home from work around 2:15am when the C.N. detector at Wetaug, Illinois, went off.  I bypassed the driveway and headed to downtown (such as it is with a population of 800) Dongola just in time to catch ALC42 #308 charging through town with the northbound City of New Orleans.

I was curious to find out how my Samsung phone would work on a pan shot at night.

Mary,
 That is a great shot. It almost looks like a model train. 
Thanks for getting out there so late at night.
My vote for IOTD with that back story

The only advantage a DSLR has over a current generation cellphone camera is the interchanable lenses.

Samsung Galaxy Series cameras are great. Started with an S7 when it came out... So far, so good.
