Viewing Album:  The Railfan's Railroad
 
By:David Larrabee
Dates:6/20/2011 - 6/22/2011
Album Info:If there ever was a road operated for the railfan this must be it. 5 or 6 scheduled trips a day with vintage motive power. Lots of crossings with many interesting photo angles & views. I photographed this railroad on and off around various sightseeing projects for several days. There was nearly continous action over the 9.5 miles of active track. /DL
