Recently I've pondered trainspotting in addition to plane spotting. Wednesday I went out to Danville in the snow and caught this beauty speeding towards Avon.

I think engineers like to see spotters along the way. They almost always wave to me. I'm sure they like us better than people who race trains at crossings lol.

Thanks. The price on the XTi might have come down a bit since Canon released the XSi. I'm not sure though.

Didn't Boofer tease me about using the title of Trainspotting in one of my threads? He must be busy because this thread has been here for a few days and he hasn't said a word.

Indeed. I haven't been around for a while. Catching up reading some old threads and I saw the title of this one. The first thing that comes to mind is heroin abuse. Haven't any of you seen the movie?
