Sheldon - how cool, adn well done. What a neat train station. Reminds me a bit of New England. The shadow at the bottom (yours, I assume) adds an interesting touch.

Sheldon my Dad would love to be there!  He's a train addict.  His model RR collection would knock your socks off!  I'll have to see if I can find a pic...  have fun! 

Hi Sheldon,

Thanks for the wonderful dialog on the train station. It looks so cool!!Really looks like a fun event!

Sheldon, you have given me a great idea on a lovalism post for our train station.  thanks,

This sounds like lots of fun!  It is something I would go to if I were in the area.  Love your shadow in the first picture.  I love playing with shadows in photography!

Hi Sheldon.......train history is interesting!  I was in south Alabama with my brother this week and he was driving around looking for traces of tracks that had been removed.  He volunteers at a local railroad museum and even drives the train.

This should be so much fun!  There are several scattered around NC and they are very interesting AND interactive.  I suppse we can expect pics in a few weeks?

Sheldon, this is good news for "kids" of all ages.....for a day they can pretend to be a conductor!

Sheldon, did you document the rail station last year too? I thought you did a post with lots of photos, or am I crazy? :) ENJOY! AND HAVE A SUCCESSFUL SUMMER!

Looks like a fun day to check out if you ask me. We have the SC State railroad museum about 20 minutes from our house. It's neat to take a look at.

Train enthusiasts will have a field day at this place, Sheldon. Although I'm not much of a train nut, I've been to the California State Railroad Museum in Old Sacramento, with its restored locomotives, and found it fascinating.

Museums like this keep the history and lore of railroading alive for new generations.  As a hobby, my husband used to sell model railroad items on eBay.  Hope all the kids, young and old, had a good time!

That looks like so much fun, Sheldon.  It reminds me of the Peter Dinklage movie "The Station Agent".  If you haven't seen it, rent it.  That building looks like it came right out of the movie.

I still have fond memories of the extensive model train setups that my grandfather built for his grandchildren.  It was fascinating as a kid and I still like taking a train now and then.  Nice event... I hope there is a good turnout.

I am sure this is going to be very cool.  very nice way to present it and let the community know!

Sheldon,

Truly love this post.....hey you will get a kick out of this....weekend before last my husband FINALLY talked me into camping...picked a nice spot by the river...really peaceful...prepared a wonderful gourmet picnic...so any way we fall asleep...I am a desperately light sleeper...all of a sudden at 1 in the morning...you guessed it a freight train went by only about 15 yards away...holy cow...it was loud...scared my pup to death...I think he thought the world was coming to an end....your train looks a lot more enjoyable...
