Crane passing the depot at 11:38 a.m. heading south.


UP 9725, 12:23 p.m.


UP 9335 from Memphis using my new 15x optical zoom. 2:46 p.m.




This was on the siding south of the depot, SRS 143.


Testing my 15x zoom. This is the widest angle looking at the Brinkley water tower.


The full 15x zoom.


Full 15x zoom, then cropped in Paint Shop Pro. I'm just testing the clarity of the zoom. The camera is a new Sony DSC-H9 which I'll use occasionally. My main purpose in getting it is the 15x optical zoom so I can photograph birds.
