| UP unit crossing the main street that goes through Mitchell, IN in Oct. 2003. | I took this in June 1995 at the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum of this A unit that just had been brought in for restoration for the museum. Russell MacNeil Collection. | Gainesville Midland 2-10-0 #208 taken at the Southeastern Railway Museum in Duluth, Georgia. | ||||||||

| This CSX train was Eastbound on the old Boston & Albany mainline creeping past the historic Chester, MA rail station that has been turned into a museum on May 3, 2007. | I asked Lisa to do a Virginia Suderman and shoot this Northbound NS on the line that runs next to U.S. 340 a little South of Grottoes, VA on Oct. 28, 2007 as I drove. Not bad for her first attempt I guess, I need to counsel her on getting a little closer though!! | Heart of Georgia Railroad in Fort Valley, Georgia. This ole girl comes over to the Tolleson Lumber Mill here in Perry, Georgia once or twice each week. They connect into the Norfolk Southern Macon to Albany mainline where it passes thru Fort Valley. Taken in July 2008. | ||||||||

| I didn't have a special light meter or filtering device plus it was getting to be late afternoon, but Lisa & I made it to the East Portal of the famous Hoosac Tunnel near Florida, Massachusetts. I believe the Springfield Terminal Railroad operates over this route and through this 4 1/2 mile tunnel through the Berkshire Mountains. | Believe it or not I had never been there before. It took 51 years and almost 5 months, but now i can say "I've been there, done that"!! | This is where the Boston & Albany (CSX) mainline crosses over Bancroft Road & some brook near Bancroft, MA in the Berkshires. This was one of the original 6 or 7 Keystone Arch design bridges that were built in 1843/1844 when the rail line first opened. Sometime ago the blocks were concreted over and this is what it looks like today. | ||||||||

Hey, looky what I found right along Ohio Route 18 near Wellington, Ohio! This was the motive power for the tourist/excursion Lorain & West Virginia Railroad parked with a bunch of old passenger coaches at their passenger station on the W. side of Wellington. I shot this under heavy cloud cover plus drizzling rain so this was the best I could do with my telephoto lenses from the gate. | |||||||||

Went to take a picture of this interesting keystone arch tunnel near the White Sulfur Springs, WV exit of I-64 and just as I did this CSX train came by. This I believe was part of the old C & O and later Chessie System line that runs West out of Clifton Forge, VA. | |||||||||

| I caught these two older CSX horses on a siding in downtown Cordele with my telephoto lens on the morning of May 22, 2010. | About 25-30 miles N.N.W. closer to Columbus, GA I came across this 4 unit set awaiting a green signal in the little hamlet of Lilly, GA also on May 22, 2010. |

| Lisa and I were first in line at the GA Route 52 crossing on the Norfolk Southern mainline between Gainesville, GA & Greenville, SC as we waited on this double stack train to roll past us near Lula, Ga on Sunday evening July 11, 2010. | The ole Atlantic Coast Line Railway initials are still clearly visible July 31, 2010 on this now CSX Jacksonville, FL to Columbus, GA mainline overpass of Georgia Route 90 in Byromville (Dooly County). | |||||||||

That's one big trainyard and maintenance facility on the East side of Bellevue, but unless you know where to go, you can't get close enough to get any photo's unless you wait on the Ohio Route 4 overpass for incoming or outgoing trains. Fostoria, Ohio did not live up to it's claim as "Train City U.S.A." atleast while I was there. This was all I saw. The train station faces the NS mainline. That's looking East. The big elevators is the NS mainline looking West. and the crisscross is where the NS & CSX meet, (hopefully not at the same time)! It must have been quiet hour as I saw two CSX N.B. trains to the S. of Fostoria as I traveled S. on U.S. 23 which kind of parallel's that line. I did see two NS trains rolling thru Bellevue but that mainline is about a 1/4 to a 1/3 of a mile S. of where the museum sits. The museum is on both sides of this one city street with quite a few (some old and rusty passenger) passenger cars, baggage cars and at least one U.S. mail card. There was also various locomotives, const. cars, a snow plow car and various other pieces of this n that which rode the rails at one time. |

| The Mad River Railroad Museum in downtown Bellevue, Ohio has a lot of artifacts and cars. I knew it was going to be closed for the season when I came Oct. 25th, but at least I was able to get a decent shot of this restored F-7 which sits right beside the CSX mainline. | On the way to church in early Nov. 2010 we had to wait on this Southbound Norfolk Southern coal train barreling through Unadilla, Georgia. | |||||||||

| On the way to church in early Nov. 2010 we had to wait on this Southbound Norfolk Southern coal train barreling through Unadilla, Georgia. | Here's the view looking North on the Norfolk Southern mainline from Georgia Route 230 in downtown Unadilla. Neat old water tower. | An Eastbound NS decending the Allegheny Mountains around the famous Horseshoe Curve W. of Altoona, PA on the afternoon of May 4, 2011. | ||||||||

| A local work train that was laying new cross ties W. of Altoona is headed back to the Altoona yards rounding the Horseshoe Curve also on May 4, 2011. | Here's the two pusher/extra braking power locomotives bringing up the rear of the downhill coal train I shot @ the Horseshoe Curve W. of Altoona, PA on May 4, 2011. | Leaving church in Unadilla this morning, Aug. 28, 2011, we caught this southbound Norfolk Southern C40-9W. | ||||||||

| Headed back to the house after church services this morning we got up to the Norfolk Southern mainline just as this 3 unit train was approaching the grade crossing in downtown Unadilla, GA. I only had time to shoot this quick shot as soon as we came to a stop. | ||||||||||
