Did you come up to Gorham? You should go up to Chester and spend a day there, and then on the way back home do some shooting around Halsey Junction at the Big Muddy Bridge. I shot there and it's a good spot, still gotta go up to Chester though...[:o)][:D] My pics @ emd_sd_60.rrpicturearchives.net! Member since June 2002 From: Independence, MO 1,570 posts Posted by UPTRAIN on Monday, July 18, 2005 1:19 AM Like I said a weeks ago, lol, I would post those photos...well, I got them done about Tuesday, it took a lot longer than I thought. My mom had back surgury the first part of last week, and between my sister and I, we've been there almost every second. Plus, the dang Tropical Depression Dennis came over...that dropped about 5 inches of rain and our rice fields were running over and breaking levees, it's been one helluva week...so without further...uh...waiting...here are the photos, there is information with each one of them: . I hope ya enjoy, lots of them, so get a drink and some chips while you look, about 195 of them, lol. Thanks for sticking with this topic for 3 weeks, lol. P.S. Nope, didn't forget the camera, I went to my dad's fiance's house and took even MORE photos (like in Mount Vernon, IL at National Railway Equipment) lol...in the town that I almost got arrested for being a railfan: Greenville, IL, a town of less than 10,000 people, all paranoid I guess.[:)][:D][8D] Member since April 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Monday, July 18, 2005 7:53 AM Thanks for posting, Zach.
