Class 1 photography versus shortlines

Aaron Hockley wonders why he tries to shoot mainline action when the shortlines are more interesting. My guess is because you see more action on the class 1's tracks. I shoot a lot more shortline action than class 1 action, partly because I'm around the shortlines more often. Also, on my web site I see far more clicks for NB Southern or New Brunswick East Coast than for CN or VIA. I even moved the CN icon to second place to see if it would make any difference, and it didn't. I guess people can see the class 1's anywhere; information on the shortlines is hard to find elsewhere.
