No thanks, I pretty much gave up rail photography years ago.
Motivator #1: spending too much time on the camera versus enjoying the "show". Besides, nowadays my images would pale in comparison to some of the free images available online.
Motivator #2: tired of dealing with other photographers/videographers. Far too many railfans with cameras feel entitled to their "perfect" image--regardless of anyone else nearby. My own anecdotal observations suggest the sense of rail photographer entitlement increases exponentially with the cost of the camera.
Funny but I rarely even take a scanner these days. I just keep an eye on the signals at my favorite spots and trust to luck. The rest of the day is spent enjoying nature and wildlife, hiking, reading, etc.
Good luck to all in 2021.
