What area on the map do you normally take pictures from.

You may have already heard where my crossing area is, (if you don't know, it's southeastern Louisiana and Southern Mississippi)

From 2006-2008 I did a lot of photography in northeast Wisconsin while I was going to UW-Green Bay. In fact, most of the pages I submitted still refer to me as "WEHRAR17@uwgb.edu" even though that email address has been deactivated since May 2009, 1 year after I graduated!

I also took a lot around where my family lived (Madison and Stoughton in south-central WI). I moved back home after graduation and didn't take as many pictures as I used to, but any pictures I did take were still from that south-central Wisconsin region. I later moved to Milwaukee where I still live. I have a backlog of about 20-25 southeast Wisconsin crossings from Milwaukee and surrounding areas.

Generally right here in town, but I have gone out west a bit to snap some pics of a couple of crossings in Halfmoon, which I hope to submit someday.

Halfmoon, whats special about the signals there?
Waterford and Cohoes is the cool stuff.

I speak my mind, if you don't like that oh well. I'll have you fill out a hurt feelings report and submit that to my office.

No argument there, but again, I'm MUCH more frequently in the area of Halfmoon than I am in Cohoes or Waterford.

Cohoes is on the way to Albany which is a cool city and college town, which means cute chicks.
You get both trains and woman who'd argue with that :LOL:
Also halfmoon is like a 10 min drive from Cohoes.

The Southeastern Massachusetts area. I submitted 34 CROSSINGS to the Massachusetts crossing page, including 12 new cities/towns. Many of those crossings are owned by the MBTA, and the norm is usually gated Safetran signals (usually with cantilevers) with 8" lights and Safetran mechanical bells that ring the entire time the signals are active (the MBTA is rather picky when it comes to railroad crossing safety!), though some had them replaced with WCH e-bells. DOT information on MBTA crossings is also easy to locate: they are on big blue signs on the relay cases.

I think I cover the largest area on this site.

I cover the whole southeast Louisiana and southern Mississippi, I've done some calculation, I cover a total of 33,506 sq miles.
To put it to size comparison, my coverage area is like fitting about 7 Los Angeles in this one area :Blink:
