Georgetown Loop, Fall 2015

In the fall of 2015, I signed up for photo special with the Georgetown Loop Railroad. Had a beautiful September day for the adventure and was fun walking the tracks that your usually not allowed on. Unfortunately the Shay engine #9 (a geared locomotive to help with the steeper grades) broke down half way through the day. Here are my images from the fun day.

Unloading at the pavilion for the Lebenon mine tour. From here it was a short walk to our next spot to photograph the train.
