February 2010 Photo Contest

[JCagle]

The theme for February's contest is your all time favorite shot. Weed through those years of archives and show off a couple of your favorites of all time. The photo must be yours, and must be of NS or it's predecessors. Other than that have fun!

We will accept entries until January 24th and voting will begin on the 25th for 5 days.  

And as always the rules.....

All images entered in the contest must be your own images. Any violations of this will be banned from entering the contest for 6 months. Any subsequent violations will receive a minimum of 1 year suspension from the contest. At Jreb we take seriously the rights of photographers, and we strive to protect those rights.

Entries may be watermarked with your name if you desire, but please remove any references to other sites for contest entries.

There will be a theme announced for each month's contest.

All entries must be Norfolk Southern or it's predecessors.

There is no age limit or time frame that the pictures must be from.

Everyone including moderators and administrators may enter the contest.

Each participant is limited to two entries in the contest.

Since the winning image is posted on the main page you must attach the file as a thumbnail. You may post the image in the thread as well if you desire. Attaching the image can be done in the additional options menu above and to the left of the post button.

The deadline for entries will be posted in the theme post each month. Following the deadline a poll is placed in the thread for voting. When the poll is posted the deadline to vote is also posted. The poll will time out at the designated time. The winner is determined by the highest vote total.

In the event of a tie vote the moderator of the contest will cast the tie breaking vote.

First:bottom Picture: Conrail dash 8 PRR patched for the NS coming through Bellevue, Ohio at the Mad River and Nickle Plate RR museum.

Second: Top Picture: SD70M NS gray ghost primer scheme. Bellevue's MR&NKP Museum on its way to the locomotive shops to be painted.

My first entries to the forum. Hope you all like. Sorry I dont have a fancy high tech camera, just a wimpy 3.2mp. These were also taken in 2004. They are my favorites.

The first photo is a meet between NS 175 and 124 at Palm, KY, viewed from the top of "Young's Hill."  It was taken in July, 2004.


The second is from September, 2003 and is a night shot of NS 294 leaving Danville Yard while an outbound crew waits for their train to arrive.
