Is there such a thing as too much resolution?

If you're the NSA, there is no thing as too much resolution. For most of the rest of us (voyeurs excepted), there is.

I'll wait until they start talking about terapixel cameras; then I'll be able to afford a gigapixel camera.

Montclair Connection curve. Too flat to allow trains to run fast . . .

You don't need a gigapixel for that...

Wow; that's gotta be a nightmare with the MLVs. Comet Is were slow enough when the "old" Boonton (NYGL) was still open. The fastest thing on there is still the Arrows; the close-together station stops are perfect for MUs. (Let's see if NJT is brave enough to run "dual-power" through trains from NYP via that line to Dover and possibly Hackettstown.)
