Railrunnin,

Great topic and nice shots. Several of your pics evoke memories of those taken by O. Winston Link many years ago, like your Grafton & Upton RR in Grafton MA. Well done.

Kent- beautiful shots. My Aunt was a semi-professional photographer in the 60's-70's and only used Leica cameras. Their house was robbed in the early 80's and all of them were taken. They were very nice cameras.

Erik, awesome!

My goodness there are some talented photographers in this group. Thanks everyone for sharing your pictures. I love looking at the different techniques and approaches.
