xyz 123 General BS, good reporting marks for a RR lol, Great shot Mr. Davis 1/9/2010 3:15:42 AM
David Stewart General Great catch & Nice shot! 1/9/2010 3:20:03 AM
William H. Davis Jr. General Thanks Ryan & David. Yeah, The BS is technically the BSRR, but for short everyone calls it the BS. It's an old joke with all the railroaders calling it the BS, we all have to laugh when we say their initials. It's just a bunch of BS 1/10/2010 3:46:51 AM

William H. Davis Jr. General Thanks George 1/25/2010 9:24:56 PM
Bernie Feltman General Usual quality, Henry. CSX has taught you the meaning of that word 1/29/2010 12:06:03 AM
William H. Davis Jr. General Thanks Bernie, I don't know about that. I've learned from viewing other quality photos in magazines, books, & on websites & I immulate the shots of my favorite photographers in their style of photography as well as some of the locations. There are many places I need to go that I haven't been to get shots & some places I need to go back to that I've been to several times to get shots that I haven't gotten yet. It also helps to have a great quality camera. All I do is compose the shot & my nice camera does the rest 1/29/2010 7:03:38 AM
