Description
Nothing like waiting on an approaching train, only to have it stop just out of range.

I've had the problem of trains going in the wrong platform, often the workings I want to capture do this, they avoid me and force me to track them down to a point where I can actually shoot them.

Sometimes it can be such a pain to get the shot you want. I kind of joke with myself and say the crews do things like that to mock the railfans.

They're bringing loads of the C40's back online, and even repainting a good number of them, because of problems with all the newer GE's.

I see a second train behind that one. And yes, I know what you mean. Its very annoying when a train has good power and the crew seems to be trying to draw out every minute of their 12 hour shift...oh, they always take their time right at dusk.

There is also a third one right next to the autoracks.
Sometimes I joke with myself that the crew is mocking me.

Ohhhh, I think that has a part. There in the cab going, "Look, a railfan! Stop in the shade." Thats why its sometimes best to play peak-a-boo with them. Dont make yourself visible until the last second. Of corse you know when a crew is getting annoyed when they open the nose door while your chasing the train.
