One day I was searching Google for some pictures of the DM&IR R.R.(Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range). I was having some success but I hit the jackpot when I found http://www.railpictures.net/. This site is amazing! There is thousands of photos of each railroad. They have a rule that you can only post photos that you have taken. The photos are categorized in many ways, you can perform searches as general as most popular or as detailed as a locomotives number. I especially like looking at the Peoples choice photos. Some of these are amazing. The author of the post usually writes a few words about the photo and where and when it was taken. I find this site to be a great resource for modeling. The photos can show you what the color of trees are in British Columbia in October for example. I also like to look at the derailments category. It really amazes me how they can even clean up some of those. I use this site mainly to find backgrounds for my computer. All being said have spent many hours looking at the photos on this site and it never ceases to amaze me. Check it out if you dare. Warning! this site is addictive.
