Took the day off to start this train chasing adventure with my 3-year-old today. Really kinda silly for the first hour. I don't have a clue what I'm doing. You can of course see multiple trains standing in the yard from the Rutledge Pike bridge but I have no way to tell when one is about to depart. I drove along Loves Creek, Rutledge Pike, Washington & MillertownPikes for a while and I believe we managed to MISS two trains instead of catching any ! haha
So we got a bit more patient and sat near one of the crossings at Loves Creek near Millertown Pike. Got my first pictures of a train "in the wild". I admit it. We had a blast. I can see how this would get addictive.
I couldn't get the gallery here to work so posted to my own personal site. See the link below.

Glad to see you're having fun! Thanks for sharing! :)
What type of camera and lens(es) are you using?
This was with a FijiFilm S5200. I have as much to learn about cameras as I do about trains.

Steve, does you camera have a detachable lens, or is the lens fixed?
It's fixed. 10X optical zoom. But can't detach it to use different options.
