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.
