This thread got me looking through that gallery and convinced me to submit some stuff to Railpictures. Much to my surprise I got one past the goalie!

Congratulations!  Again!

I had to admit that I knew it would be that one out of the bunch.  The CR blue was just a little richer in this photo than the others.

After 20 years I'm FINALLY starting to understand their formula.

Most of the time, anyway: https://www.railpictures.net/viewreject.php?id=1914725&key=4836063
On that one the 1/3 crosshair was LITERALLY on the headlight of the lead unit.

Whatever.  But if it helps you any, I now have a new desktop background

If you're going with the Fightin 50 panorama, use this one. I cleaned it up a bit.

Personally, I love this shot. It's in my desktop rotation.

Every time that I try to lash up a Geep with six-axle power, I think it just looks funny.  I don’t know why.  Like the Geep is just out of scale or something.  But, there it is; on the prototype, it looks odd, too!

That shot is only about a mile or so from my parents house.
