Photographic notes
Good sun, for southbound shots, after 2pm. You can get trains in both directions but in from three angles.
Pretty good for videographers.
You can get a nice wide shots with some panning. Cross over shots are common in the peaks as there is always something bound. Can get some 'thrash' as well, if a FCC services has been crossed in front of an HST. Or a FCC has been pushed into the slow in favour of a HST.
There are also various places on the way to the field than can be 'ok' for videos, these are displayed in the video that is shown here.
