Welcome to the Unofficial Screenshot Competition! This is a fun and friendly alternative to the official Screenshot Competition run by DTG. Theme for this week: Commuter Rail Our rules: Screenshot should be in some way (can be very tenuous) linked to the theme. You can enter up to 3 pictures, posted separately. You can delete and replace if you wish. TSC only shots allowed. 3rd party content, enhancement and artistic editing is accepted. Thread poster picks the podium and can't enter themselves. The decision is final. The winner chooses the new theme for next week and becomes its judge. We strongly discourage any negativity, this is a light hearted & fun contest! This is a major "we are all friendly" thread and we hope it will always remain so. Please keep chat to an absolute minimum. Entries close at Friday, October 27th at 11pm EST and will be judged by me Saturday morning. In the event of this week's winner not responding by 8pm EST Sunday, October 29th, a new thread should be created using the highest vote in the poll. Good luck to all, but most importantly, remember to have fun!
