Thank you all so much for your comments, Claudia, Donna, Kasia, Stephen, Doug, Kathleen, Shirley, Sharon, and Susan. I have one more for this series to post tomorrow and then I can start on something new. Went out this morning and got 50+ more train shots. He was so close, the wind pressure had me hanging on to a fence. I think I'll stay a little farther away next time. Eveyone has been so supportive and responsive, I'm "almost" running out of things to say, except thanx and of course, keep shooting - Allan #392500
