TVRM Rail Fest 2015

Hello again rail fans,

We were able to attend the TVRM rail fest September 2015 in Chattanooga, Tennessee.  We had a great time with our family hobby.  Our eyes were on the old steam engine Southern 4501.

 

It would a good day of rail fanning and riding a steam train.

 



Here you see 4501 at Hickory valley road, heading to Cleveland Tennessee.

 

Here 4501 is on the wye at Cleveland Tennessee. A beautiful day for a photo shot.

Here's a photo shot form the South Ocoee street bridge.

Like I said it's a family Hobby.

 

Two cities and one train

Hello again Rail Fans,

It was a tale of two cities and one train.  We were up in Chattanooga Sunday finishing up Rail Fest and rail fanning on a Sunday afternoon.  That morning we were waiting for the Steam train 4501 to come by for some photo shots and then this train come by and stop at Hickory Valley road.

Some rail cars had actually come off and he was waiting for them to be re-attached and this was in Chattanooga.  Well, Steam train Southern 4501 finally came by and we took our pictures.

Well, we went about our business, as we chased him to Cleveland Tennessee.  We then prceeded back to Georgia and thought we would stop at Dalton Depot, at the split, and we happen to hear the whistle blow of a diesel train. As we never turn down another chance for a photo shot for any train.  Well, NS2621came by and my son immediately said. "Dad that's the  train we saw stopped in Chattanooga !!.

I proceeded to check the storage in my digital camera and indeed it was the seem train that was stopped in Chattanooga, NS2621 So we were able to see the seem train on the day in two cities. And we were not intelligently trying to chase it either.

A great family moment in rail fanning.
