The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

I do not know how many, if any of you are into trains or what not but I figured I would post a TR here anyway. Besides some weddings and portrait sessions there is not much in my life that is TR worthy at the moment.



I attended Tweetsie Railroad's annual Railfan Weekend on the 11th and 12th. It rained most of the day on the 11th and everything I had got soaked, I was soaked, my bag was soaked, all of my cameras and lenses were soaked. I got a few good shots during the day but the better stuff came from Sunday when the weather was a bit better.















































Shot a few videos as well, nothing too serious.

This is great... tells more of a "railroad" story than the others, at least to me.

Being the train could really suck for some.

Good pics Afro. You ever do those train excursions down around Bryson City, NC?
