| This was uploaded at a large resolution on purpose. Ok this is very abnormal for NS to idle a train at this crossing so I kind of got a rare shot here. Now notice I have the whole train in this shot it was only 44 cars long. Now if you view this shot in fullview look down the tracks behind the train and notice you can almost clearly make out the storm branch road crossing which is more than a mile away, and a truck clearing it. You see the railroad tracks are very flat and go down a straight path for about a mile so you can actually see pretty far and whenever I'm railfanning this area I always take advantage of this because I can tell if there's a nothbound train comming from the lights shinning miles away. Now I know most people would call the fujifilm finepix S5200 a mediocre $275 point and shoot camera but when it performs like this and you can almost clearly make out distant objects then that's more than just a point and shoot. But if this was a $1,000 Nikon I probably would be able to tell what kind of truck that is in the background. |
