Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

Hi guys! I do have lots of pics, so I decided to post them here! I do not have the good areas to find all of the classics, but I do have some crossings that have not been updated here for a while!

Cridge Street, Riverside,CA

This is the crossing that I go to all of the time while I am out visiting in California. Mainly because it gets 60+ BNSF Trains/ 10-20 UP Trains/2 Amtraks/50-60 Metrolink trains per day.

A BNSF train is coming!(These Pics. are from back in November 2009)

Thanks for the comments, SP. I will decide if I want to submit to the site later.

Mary Street in Riverside,CA( A Metrolink came through, but it was going EXTREMELY Fast, so I could not get a good picture of the train. Also, I could not get out of the car due to there being other cars behind me.)

Unfortunately, my pictures are 640x480. Does anybody know a program where I can change it to a good size?

no I do not.

I looked up your camera model, and the camera is in very good quality. It can take up to 10 MP. One rule of my site is to NEVER, EVER use VGA mode. That's 640x480 resolution. NEVER set a camera to that resolution.

Figure out how you can change the megapixels of your camera to 2 or above, and it'll be fine.

Looking online, your camera can take resolutions in the following sizes:

JPEG 3648 x 2736
JPEG 2816 x 2112
JPEG 2272 x 1704
JPEG 1600 x 1200
JPEG 640 x 480
JPEG 3648 x 2048

Any size OTHER than 640x480 is okay, but the recommended size would be 1600 x 1200 for submissions.

Upon looking again, set it to Medium 3 (M3) which will be 1600x1200, and just leave it at that setting.

It also has "Normal (N)", "Fine (F)", and "Super Fine (SF)". I'd prefer the Super Fine (SF) setting, but if normal is used, that's okay.

good pictures there look forward to seeing more

Thanks, Mike. I will try that.

Some more pics. from Cridge Street about a month ago. The signals recently got new Ball LEDs.

Mike, I have been toying around my camera for hours, and I can't seem to find the way to do it.

What kind of camera do you have, do you have a manual for it also.
I'd think youd be able to hit a menu button and go through it from there, good luck to finding out how to fix it
