Hi Norman, There are so many web sites for American rail fans it is unbelievable. I never realised that spotting is more popular in the States than it is here. They seem to have lineside cameras in nearly every large city and places such as Barstow in California, they are fascinating to watch. One or two have running commentries as well but I think it depends on time of day.

Hello there. Yes I have been 'bitten' as you put it.
I find the different building and operating techniques fascinating. Some quite interesting steam locos over there.
