When I decide which line or railroad I want to shoot, I stay there. I even turn off the other railroads on my scanner, unless there's a junction nearby that can provide clues about conflicting movements. This drives some of my shooting companions nuts. But I've been burned way too many times by getting bored sitting at one spot, and running over to some other nearby location because I hear something on the scanner, only to miss the shot I really wanted anyway. I'm here to tell you ... it works every time! The surest way to make a train show up is to leave!
