Chased 611 over the weekend around Roanoke,VA. Shots aren't the best, with the weather not cooperating and me being fairly unfamiliar with the area. Crowds don't help matters either.

There were several hundred people at a few of the locations, lined up in rows of 2 and 3 to take shots. If they weren't blocking the photo line that is. One guy and myself yelled at several people to move at the tunnel shot at Montgomery. I'd been there for 90 minutes before some of these people arrived, the other guy had been there 90 minutes before I was. I got to see how selfish some folks are and disregard the fact that others are trying to get their pictures as well. As fun as shooting steam is, I think I'll be happy to go back to being the lone person chasing a train again.
