How about a photo line of railfans???  And these just happen to be two of 
possible couple dozen negatives/slides of this scene.  After all, it was a 
fantrip.

Instead, how about something else to ponder:  So where are the other 500 
slides/negatives taken on this fantrip??  (just as a guesstimate: 30-40 
railfans expose 1-2 rolls of film each)  Suspect the photographic record of 
our hobby is like an iceberg:  We've only seen the top 10% so far.
