On May 3 I had the opportunity to go on a special photographers ride on the Texas State Railroad in East Texas between Palestine & Rusk. Three different locations from Palestine to Rusk and three other locations on the return trip, they stop the train, let the photographers off, then back the train up out of sight and run it by us so we can photograph it going down the track. What an amazing experience for a lover of trains. I'll do this again next year when they offer it again. Of course, this is only a small sampling, but hope Y'all like them.

I love this little train! We have ridden it several times but never this trip you are talking about... Have to check that out! They also do a polar express for kids during Christmas!


Try to do it. You won't be disappointed.

Thanks Tom,

I was using a Canon 70D with the Tamron 16 - 300 lens. A wonderful match.

Irvingite,

Theses are great photos of that little Consolidation 2-8-0! Interesting that it has the same engine number as the locomotive at Railtown 1897 in Jamestown, CA. It is also a Consolidation 2-8-0. What a coincidence. These are, again, a great set. Being a railfan, I live for these types of pictures. Next to airplanes, cars, flowers etc., these are the greatest.
