Bringing up the markers on the 2012 AAPRCO Convention Train, recently restored Georgia Railroad rear end platform observation car, the Dearing is framed under a restored Southern Railway signal bridge on the grounds of the North Carolina Transportation Museum. The Convention train is enroute to Chattanooga from Washington D.C. and toured much of the former Southern Railway on its journey.
The Chattanooga Limited was a special train of privately owned railroad cars that are part of the American Association of Private Railroad Car Owners (AAPRCO). The train was in conjunction with the annual convention in 2012.
This is dedicated (with permission) to the skilled and gifted photographer - Chase Gunnoe - who regularly posts and is on staff with RP. I believe he deserves a gallery showcasing his remarkable photos. This is for you Chase! (More great photos to come!)
A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
