Back in November, Emmet and myself escaped the cold and snow of Kentucky for 3 days and headed East to Roanoke Va. We Spent all day Friday shooting the NS between Bluefield and Roanoke, Saturday was spent at the museums in Roanoke, plus a little more NS, and we somehow managed a couple of shots on Sunday, as we took the LONG way home.
I have all of pictures processed and up on Pbase if you want to look. Just follow the links

Nice work, Carmon! Great eye for detail. Nice to get a lady's perspective on railroad-related objects and images. Thanx for sharing. :)

Great pics Carmon.
I can recall discussions on other RR message boards about female chasers (pro vs. con). Carmon's pictures are proof that women DO belong in the railfan hobby- they're freakin' great! 8)
