not sent in a page will not be considered. Dig- ital photos can be sent on CD but must be a minimum of nine inches across at 300 d.p.i. in TIF format (if you really want to impress us, change the color mode to CMYK). If you open your photo in Photoshop and check its dimension in pixels, it must be at least 2700 pixels across the longest dimension. Digital files that are too small are the single biggest reason we don’t use a photo. Digital photos may be edited for exposure, but should not be otherwise enhanced (i.e. do not add or re- move elements that were or were not actual- ly in the scene as photographed); send the full image, and leave any cropping to us. Along with the CD, include hard copies of the photos on separate sheets of paper (no more than four photos per sheet) so we’ll have a good idea what the shots look like, as we will not open every single image on a CD to see what’s in there — and please make sure that the reference numbers on the hard copy and captions correspond with the file numbers on the CD. The easier you make it for the editors to see your shots, the more favorably they will look upon your submissions. Prints are not accepted.


The deadline for submissions is April 25,


2013. Clearly mark on the outside of your envelope “PHOTO LINE 2011” and send it to Railfan & Railroad, 108 Phil Hardin Road, Newton, NJ 07860. Please enclose return packaging and postage for slides. Any CD’s not accompanied by return postage will be disposed of after the selections are made. About 20 photos (including the cover and FINAL FRAME) will appear in the May 2013 issue.
