Morning all, decision time is here. I have really enjoyed all of your submissions, a terrific variety of time of day, seasons, weather, countries ..... loving it . So here we go:- In third place I award a virtual Bronze Medal equally to I'm a railfan obviously for this low angle S-Bahn capture and also Blazin for this terrific Santa Fe offering. Standing together on the virtual Silver Medal Podium is cscarpenter for this beautiful Innsbruck scene. and also Blazin for this superb DB BR189 mixed Freighter in the sidings, a really busy image with loads of content, coupled with some great lighting. Which leaves just one empty virtual podium. So without furter ado I would like to announce this weeks winner as rwaday for this stunning moody fog bound capture. I just love the way you have made the time of day, location and weather the main focus with the train almost as an afterthought, well done. I hereby award the virtual Gold Medal and the honour of taking us all forward to week 19 to your good self rwaday. Thanks to everyone for taking part it is genuinely appreciated.
Thank you very much for the 3rd place Craigie-C and congrats to the winners! And side note it's an S-bahn not a U-bahn
