My turn! Not a good shot... At all... Lol but here is one from yesterday. Since my school is near a train station for the Long Island Railroad, I can go to the platforms whenever I want to photograph the locomotives. After a few days of poking around I finally called an LIRR M4!
I'll post some of my best 5 images that I've taken over the years starting with my first one with the UP Challenger visiting my home city Houston back in 2004.
Here are a couple from 611 Deadhead move to Manasass.

N&W J-Class 4-8-4 #611 on her last Excursion run of 2016, This video shows her deadhead move to Manassas between Proffit, Va and Bealton, Va with some amazing audio and footage including Pacing her between Remington and Bealton.
The second half of the video is her last excursion run of 2016 between Manassas and Front Royal Virginia. Including some amazing footage of her Struggling up Linden Hill with her throttle to the roof.
Just got back from there about thirty minutes ago. They were also running 630 today. I was hoping that they were running 4501 today, as a way to celebrate the 4th of July, of course, they weren't.
You could say I hit a jackpot railfanning today. I caught TWO CP ES44ACs hundreds of miles from home rails. One of them was leading a train! Literally the first time I have caught a non-UP-owned unit leading a UP train.
Took ~1000 pics on my recent trip to Folkston. Here's three of them (not my best by any stretch of the imagination). Stayed in the Ms. Chessie caboose as usual, which is always a wonderful experience. I highly recommend any of the Railside Lodging properties if you happen to be there.

A southbound manifest with a rare ex-Reading SW1001 trailing rounds the curve at the Folkston Funnel.
The northbound Silver Meteor makes near perfect time through Folkston on a blisteringly hot Tuesday evening in July.
Dang, I had some really good pics from the St Louis Museum of Transportation...
Too had that android is broken beyond belief.
And I risked getting in trouble getting a good shot of the GG1 too!
