While stuck at a red on the New Haven Line (aka the New York to New Haven Route), the engineer of a Metro-North M2 stepped out momentarily to let a railfan snap a photo of the cab.
An NSE-liveried Class 205 thumps its way along the North Somerset Railway on a beautiful summer afternoon.

Yeah, I wanted to find a use for that camera filter and figured that Correctional Facility was the best fit.
A Metro North M7 rolls along the Hudson Line with a commuter train on a quiet fall afternoon. Route Used: Hudson Line - New York Penn & Grand Central - Croton Harmon Locomotive Used: Metro North M7A
The same commuter train, but farther up the line, here we see it passing under a large bridge that spans across the Hudson, and an old signal gantry. Route Used: Hudson Line - New York Penn & Grand Central - Croton Harmon Locomotive Used: Metro North M7A
Also, can we broaden up on the themes a little bit? They're starting to get too specific, and it's been preventing some of us from competing these last couple of weeks.
I'm slightly confused as you say this immediately after posting two very nice shots from the Hudson line. Doesn't the community vote on the theme in any event?
A Metro-Cammell class 101 (built 1955) waits for passengers. Train: British Rail class 101 Route: Wherry Lines
A chocolate and cream liveried class 117 from the North Somerset Railway finds itself in new territory, as it hurries through Herefordshire, at its eyewatering top speed of 70 mph. Train: British Rail class 117 Route: Welsh Marches Line
I wasn't really referring to this week in particular but more just in general. I believe some of the themes that we're allowed to vote on have become too specific and can prevent people from competing in the contests if they ever end up winning. Take last week for example, the winning theme was heritage railways, not everyone owns a heritage railway so therefore a lot of us weren't able to compete in the contest. I'm just suggesting that the themes we vote on become a little more broad so that no matter what, everyone can compete every week and nobody gets excluded.
I can only remember two niche themes: narrow gauge and heritage, which isn't many out of the 52 weeks in a year. Maybe DTG like some niche themes as it gives an opportunity to showcase them and encourage sales of DLC people might not have noticed before?
