New idea, post your favorite pictures!

[Santa Fe buff]

I love to see train pictures, I could stare at them, I encourage everyone intrested to post their favorite pictures of anything trains on this thread. Anything trains or similar. Kinda like making a photo gallery with what you bachmann people like... I thought it was an intresting topic.

I didn't take any of these photos. You can leave a link or a picture itself.

Hate to ruin your fun, but this kind of thread is not a good idea..
because it encourages:

Is it okay to save a picture from the internet into my pictures then browse it up here?
Don't worry, lets just not post anylink anymore, although it is still an option.

no..its not..that is also theft.
you are taking a photo that is not yours to take.

If there is a photo, that isnt yours, on a webpage that isnt yours,
it IS ok to simply post the link to the page the photo is on..but not to embed the photo into the message..

like this:

http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=198365&nseq=0

that way, people click on the link and go to the actual, complete webpage the photo is on..which is good for RP.net because all their advertising shows up..
they can make money that way, not lose money..

yes I know advertising is annoying..but many of these railfan photo sites couldnt exist without it..advertising is a necessary evil..
but when you hotlink a photo into a thread..like a few RP.net images above, you bypass that advertising and deny the hosting website any revenue..
you are only stealing bandwidth from them, and giving them nothing in return..

you should only imbed a photo into a message if its YOUR photo, that you took, and if its hosted on your own webpage, that you pay for, or if its hosted on one of the photo hosting sites that does specifically allow hotlinking, like photobucket or imageshack or sites like that.

it is not ok to copy a photo that is not yours and upload it to photobucket or anywhere else..

Nothing illegal about posting your own photographs - that you personally took and personally posted to the 'net. How about these?







There are 498 more on the net, as many yet to be posted, and some are in color.

Here are some more:








Enough for now...
