Amtrak/VIA Screenshot/Photo Contest!

LAST EDITED ON Feb-17-04 AT 11:37 AM (EST) by IcyFire (moderator)

Enter your VIA Rail Canada or Amtrak screenshot or photo here between now and Super Bowl Sunday (Feb 1). Prizes will be announced at the end of the competition. Only one entry per person.
Judges are needed. Entries by judges will not be counted. Judges can therefore post as many shots as they want as examples. There will be four different categories:
Amtrak Screenshot
Amtrak Photo
VIA Screenshot
VIA Photo
Entries should be 640x480
Good luck to all.

Here is the screenshot I decided on entering. This is a view at Baltimore Penn Station on a rainy day in the mid to late 1970s in between 2 trains sporting the Phase-1 Amfleet Cars.

Amtrak train brefly holds up traffic in the small town of Torch Ohio as it picks up passengers in a light snow. Two P42s and a F40PH pull the train. This picture was taken on the Hamilton Norfolk Route.

One entry per-person. Choose which entry you want to have as valid or you can judge, not have any counted, and post as many as you want.

After 2 and a half years, I am finally at 900 posts. Only 100 away from the coveted 1000 post count and official loudmouth status! So here's another shot for everyone to enjoy, and to inspire others to post their Amtrak screenshots.

>A rainy day in Stamford, headed for New York/ Washington
>D.C. Rainy Day? Doesn't seem raining!

-----You are reading my signature now, don't waste your time reading it!-----
Or probably, maybe you should waste your time reading it.
Eh, where did my signature go?
Oh, here it is, the one you are reading right now? Can't you see it? I know I know, it's probably too bright to see it.
Hey, look at my avatar, nice right? I drew it with my own hands holding the mouse in Paint, with the pencil tool(and the Filling tool!)!
It's a picture of me in Planet Stooopid, where everything is the same as what you call "Earth" except that we are called "aliens" in your planet.
Anyway, I warned you not waste time reading my signature! You have just wasted probably about 30 seconds reading it, where you could have spent the time doing better things, like maybe reading the next post below if there is one...

This is a canned image. Please resize your image to 640 x 480 to meet requirements, otherwise you will be disqualified. Once again this has been a canned image. Thank you.

Just some more inspiration for those of you who need it!

Keep posting these shots! You may post for the rest of the month, after that, watch Super Bowl XXXVIII where the Carolina Panthers will try to win their first Super Bowl ever, and the New England Patriots will try to capture their second title in three years!
