Yes, I took that ride a couple of weeks ago. It was a great 4.5-hour trip in 70 to 80 degree weather.

GSMR converted a bay-window into this generator car.

This picture gives me the idea I would like to be on that train. ;) Great picture, well balanced. I like the clarity of the reflections in the water.

The GSMR engineer is returning to GP-7, number 777, after stopping to give the passengers and crew a lunch break alongside the Nantahola River,in the western part of North Carolina.

This one is, in my opinion, the least interesting from a design point of view, but is is a modern commuter station. It is the Metro North station in Danbury, CT. I present it for those who might be modeling a modern commuter railroad. Recently Metro North, as a budget cutting measure...

The old Union Station in Montgomery, AL. It now houses the Montgomery Tourist Center and offices.

Wow! Great angle. The day we were there the trail to the spot from which your picture was taken was closed due to ice.

I agree. That flag was not put there for any other reason than to inspire us, at any time, in my opinion. We should not need a war to be patriotic.

This scene was photographed last week while my wife and I were vacationing in Western North Carolina. The location is Chimny Rock. No further comment necessary.

I didn't shoot the whole building, in this case, because it was the nighttime lighting I was interested in showing. This is the Lakawanna Station in Scranton, PA. The same view during the day.

This Bessemer, Alabama, station is now the city's historic museum. The tracks to the right of the fence are still very active with an average of at least one freight per hour (NS)and two Amtrak passenger trains per day. Street-side view.

Here are two views of the station at Gaylordsville, CT, on the Housatonic RR. It was built as a combination station and hotel. It is now a smal museum. This is the roadside view. And trackside. The track, barely visible on the far left of the picture, is still an active freight line.

Greg touched on a point I believe should be given greater emphasis. That is, young people, such as your grandson, when they do good things, don't get enough public recognition. You and your grandson are the kind of role models our society very much needs. Thanks for sharing.

Yep, that is what they called it--a monorail.

At the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair: This is part of a slide program I shot during the two years of the Fair. The camera I was using then was a Rolleiflex T, which uses 120 film. The film was all High Speed Ektachrome, which has lasted through the years in excellent condition...

More hydro than cal. ;)

She's not all that young, Shamus. She did attract the attention of another railfan. Another sign of spring. (She is trying to catch the glare of the sun off a rail in this pix.)

We've been open all winter: Wed - Sat 10 - 4; Sun 12 - 4. After April 1, we go to the summer schedule: Tue - Sat 10 - 5; Sun 12 - 5. Here is how we looked only a couple of months ago.

A sure sign of Spring is when railfans return to their Northern habitat. Here is one that turned up at the Danbury Railway Museum last Wednesday. Camera: Nikon Coolpix 995 Settings - Shutter Priority Shutter: 1/125 sec. White Balance: Cloudy Focus: Auto ISO: 100

Gotta agree. Those shots have a classic vintage look.
