Hey Hedgehogs, it’s time for another Weekly Photo Challenge. This week’s theme is entitled Choo Choos.
- Be sure the title or description of your entry explains your interpretation of the theme.

The challenges are simple. You start with a theme, but the twist is that everyone needs to submit a title or description with their photo that explains the ‘who, what, where, why, when or how’ they went through to get it. This helps us ‘feel’ the moment as you did, but can also help with voting. You might even find some great tips along the way.

This is about challenging yourself, pushing beyond your limits, so have fun and try anything and everything whether you are good at it or not. Remember; you can't win if you don't try. Good luck and have fun!

I wish I had seen this earlier. I had a train derail behind my house Saturday morning.

Train derailed behind the house. 3rd photo is of the removal. In 36 hours the tracks were open and running.

I was still shaky when taking the first few photos. My heart didn't slow down for a couple hours.
