I don't know how often Hoggers get to meet in real life, but I had the opportunity last weekend to meet up with fellow train enthusiast and UHHer Jay Pat. His hospitality in central Texas took us to the Austin Steam Train depot in Cedar Park and to the railroad museum in Temple.
And, if you want to know ANYTHING about how those old steam engines work, he's the guy to ask.
We had a great time visiting and I appreciated his guidance in finding shots I wanted to make. Here are some OOC shots from our Saturday jaunt.
Oh, you meant choo-choo training. When I saw the title I thought you meant workout training with Jay Pat.
I like the Pacific locomotive in the third photo.
That Pacific Loco is very nice.

I had a great time with George!!
I'm afraid I got over rated about the knowledge part...
It is a journey of learning that I am enjoying.
Visiting with others about a common subject just adds to the fun.
