Thanks for all the feedback---glad you're enjoying the trip.Our tour director (Charlie) certainly knows all the right spots for railfanning,although there was one disappointment.After a perfect day in spite of a few inconsiderate foamers,Charlie took us to another great spot to get one more shot of the Berkshire---a secluded access road right next to the tracks with a slight curve---an ideal spot---we could hear the whistle and saw the smoke and I was really getting excited with the prospect of getting a side shot as she slowly passed on the outside track.Then it happened---before the 765 appeared,a regular freight came around the curve first and slowly passed---blocking our perfect shot.

Knowing we already had some good shots,we were able to contain our disappointment without freaking out.As it turned out,there would be more opportunities for a few more pictures.
