Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum

I thought I had lost these shots from last fall in Chattanooga. :uhoh

Apparently, they were hiding in one of my CF cards in the bottom of my camera bag, waiting to escape:D , but I caught them, and now I am in the process of editing them.:clap

Haven't seen too many trains shots here lately, but the Tennesse Valley Railroad Museum in Chattanooga is definitely worth a look, if you enjoy looking at old iron.

Here is the traditional shot of a coupler - usually displayed in B&W like this




But, I think I may prefer the color version here

Here is a passenger car waiting restoration.



Since I live in the Wabash Valley in Indiana, I could not pass up this Wabash Line caboose

Nice. One of my best memories is messing around in the train yard with my dad in Croton-on-Hudson. Lots of old abandoned cars there. And then we had pizza. Anyway, I like trains. I like your shots, too.

When you next make it out here, you'll want to stop at the Sacramento
Railroad Museum. Last time I was there, I saw photographs of the various
impliments for clearing snow from the track. That snow thrower was amazing!

I favor the B&W version of the coupler...

Isn't it nice when you come across images you forgot you had or even when you learn something new and you dig into those old files and find something you forgot was there

I like the colour versions too, there's something about trains that just makes you want to explore them ...... Skippy (Australia)

Jim all good stuff
First one I like the color better
Second one glad you caught it before any work was done on it
...I like the streaks down the sides of the train cool look

Thanks

Cool stuff. I am a real sucker for old trains. I like color version of the coupler a lot. I don't think I have seen anything similar before.

Cheers,

Thanks for the kind words, guys and gals.

I have finished a few more frames of trains:):
