If anyone is brave enough post your entries to the Amtrak Photo our train contest post them here! I tried to upload mine but the insert image doesn't work. Mine are instead posted on train orders

1. Eastbound Sunset crosses the Rio Grande River High Bridge at the base of Mt. Cristo Ray in ELP.

2. Westbound Sunset at the same location later that afternoon in the shadow of the mountain. This one is a little foggy but you can still makeout the train.

Could you post them some where else they dont work- it says I have to pay to see your pictures.

Posted by JONATHON (Member # 2899) on :

P.S. I to will be sending in a photo, also this year you can only send one picture, unlike last year.

If you change the "t" at the very end of the link to an "f", you will get a larger picture:

For example:

Nice to see the Henrys are still out and about.

Yester Day was the last day to send in Photos, did anyone else decide to send in pitures?

Great Photo Essay.....good luck, Jonathan!!

Posted by RRRICH (Member # 1418) on :

Good photo, Jonathon -- your photo looks like hmmmmmm -- Santa Barbara maybe? What station is that?

Posted by 20th Century (Member # 2196) on :

What a photo! Nice work Jonothan. Always enjoy your pics.

Posted by JONATHON (Member # 2899) on :

Yes, That is Santa Barbra, I took it when I went with Train Web on the Rail meet/outing, Chris Guenzler chose the spot to take the Picture from, I wasnt the only one the taking pictures.

Here 2 I considered sending, but didnt

Posted by RRRICH (Member # 1418) on :

Jonathon - I agree with you -- the first photo, of the train with the station in the background, is better.

Posted by JONATHON (Member # 2899) on :

I decided to go with that one seeing as how Amtrak likes sunny, day time photos that include full view of the Entire Train

Thanx All for Complaments!
