Identify any modern diesel by its hood, cab, and radiator profile. Once you can spot the difference between an SD70ACe and an SD70M-2 at 400 yards, you've crossed the line into real railfanning. Kalmbach's editions are the standard. ($20-$30)

Class 2 reflective vest. Not for trespassing — for legitimate trackside viewing on public sidewalks and parking lots near busy lines, so the engineer sees you and you don't get a friendly 'move along' from BNSF police. Looks the part too. ($10-$20)
