*In the May Railpace...*

	Norfolk Southern Gets Busy Painting continues the coverage of the NS Heritage Locomotive Program with the first releases from the Juniata shops in Altoona (Conrail blue and Nickel Plate Road black/yellow) and the Chattanooga shops (Southern green and Central of Georgia gray/blue), as well as a shot of repainted N&W SD45 1776 for the Virginia Museum of Transportation!

	The Uncertain Future of Norfolk Southern's Historic PEPCO Lead recounts the history of this Washington, D.C.-area mile-long industrial track that was the first mile laid by the Alexandria, Loudoun & Hampshire Railroad in 1859. Today it serves GenOn's Potomac River Generating Station, which is scheduled to close in October 2012, leaving one customer on the line.

	Marion's "AC" Tower - Rediscovering a Railroad Marvel highlights the wonderfully restored and relocated former Erie/EL interlocking tower at this central Ohio hotspot, with NS and two CSX lines all crossing in front of the restored Union Station (former NYC/EL, C&O; and PRR/N&W). Providing a wonderful set of photographic backgrounds and angles, as well as a seemingly endless stream of trains, Marion is a wonderful place to railfan today!

YOU CAN NOW UPLOAD DIGITAL PHOTOS!

Railpace now accepts full-size (high resolution) .RAW, .JPEG or .TIFF photo files for magazine publication! Using our new web-based upload system, if you have a high-speed broadband (cable modem or DSL) connection, you can upload your photos directly to us! We first need to receive and review a smaller "thumbnail" low-resolution version of your image before access is granted to the upload system. Please E-mail your preview images to railpace@ptd.net - we prefer .JPEG files for these low resolution "approval" photos, and ask that they be kept under 300K in size. Please use your image editor to resample a copy of the image to a smaller size if necessary. Once we determine that we can use your photo, we will E-mail you a unique "upload code" and provide you with the URL address of the upload system.
