It's more fun and more of a challenge to chase than to ride. One thing that I do is I am usually in phone contact with someone who is on the trip (being outdoors, of course,) and they give me locations on where the train is going to and where the train is at so that it'll give me some ample time to get to a location along the line to set up.If one rides, then you can't get off until the lunch stop, take a 3 hour tour, *which is way too long if you ask me) and at the last stop and get just a photo or two if you're lucky. Honestly, I do not like the TM trips at all. Don't get me wrong...I do appreciate they operate the vintage equipment but if one has been there and done that over and over and over, it gets old and boring. I want a challenge. I want to see variety. But my guess for the reason why they decided to ixnay the length of the trip is because if they went over the scheduled end time, then the MTA has to pay the staff overtime (time and a half) and that's something that they refuse to do. Think of what happened during the Christmas Holiday runs...the same applies to the summer trips. So if I do go, I will only chase. That's it! I'M GONE! |
