Bruce RE: Trains on this day in the past: - Charlie B - 08-15-2020 August, 1978 with a twilight meet at the North Pleasant Drive crossing in East Palestine, Ohio about MP 49.2 on the Pittsburgh-Chicago main line. Charlie RE: Trains on this day in the past: - Charlie B - 08-16-2020 8/16/2015 at Enon Valley, Pa. Charlie RE: Trains on this day in the past: - tompm - 08-16-2020 I am really enjoying these photos. I have got to get around to scanning my rail fan photos. My dating of the photos can be hit or miss so with some I would have to make an educated guess as to the dates or months they were taken.

My dating of the photos can be hit or miss so with some I would have to make an educated guess as to the dates or months they were taken. I have a similar problem, Tom, as I usually don't bother setting the date. When taking layout photos at home, I take the batteries out of the camera, and run it using an AC adapter, as that way it's ready to use whenever I want. It doesn't "go to sleep" as it does with batteries, but once I turn it off, after a photo session, there are no batteries to keep track of the date and time. I have lots of railfanning photos, originally taken on my own (and in those days, on film), but later on, a lot more, taken with my friends Ed, Charlie, and Bruce, all Members here, and all better organised than me. Wayne RE: Trains on this day in the past: - UP SD40-2 - 08-16-2020 I have the same problem, I have took so many rail fan pics, but never recorded when I took them. I know exactly where I took every one of them, but have ZERO idea when they were taken, so threads like this are so cool, but I can not participate in it RE: Trains on this day in the past: - Charlie B - 08-16-2020 No one cares if you don't have a date. Post those pictures and let us help date them. I am doing that with my cousin on donated photos from over a hundred years ago and it is amazing what can be gleaned from a picture. Besides, I want to see them so if you feel you must lets start a thread for them. In fact, I will start with one or two. Charlie RE: Trains on this day in the past: - Charlie B - 08-18-2020 8/18/1977, Eastbound manifest at East Palestine, Ohio. (East Palestine is 30 miles west of Conway, Pa., one of the largest hump yards in the USA at the time.)
