The end of October and beginning of November kept us very busy with 3 steam trips with the Southern 630. Emmett and myslef spent several days burning up the roads in TN, GA and Alabama to get some final steam shots of 2012, It has been a great year, and I am looking forward to see what 2013 brings us.
I recently finished all of the editing on 20 + new images of the SR 630 on the mainline and the C&C shortline. Everything is up on Pbase (along with the stuff from the rest of 2012) if you want to take a peek. This link will take you there.

Excellent!
Nice shooting! I'm somewhere in that crowd next to the crossing in Spring City..
Nice shots Carmon. I really like the one at Rock Springs on the CG Main. I was hoping to make this trip but things did not work out.
