Look at this railroad photo
Posted by traingeek087 on Wednesday, September 22, 2004 12:56 PM
I love the way the photographer incorperated the bilboard into the snap, bet you see all the railfans there after the excursion.

One of my teachers told me he saw a unusual passenger train go by, I had no clue until I saw it today, it was the same train, I can't believe I had no knowledge of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am soooo mad that it wasn't advertised anywhere? Was it even advertised at all?

I have not check THIS year but last year you could ride in one of the cars for a price. AND you had to be a member of AAPRCO. They travel to a place each year for the annual convention. This year would have been a nice trip.

Wonder if the photographer really knew it was Hooters? Or was he just incorparating the billboard then looked after the photo to see what it was. Well he got lucky either way!

Over the years I have switched from taking photos of trains to taking photos with trains in them. I like to show the human factor of railroading. I like this shot because it really shows human interest. It got this human interested[:)].

There is no such thing as a bad day of railfanning. So many trains, so little time.

Trains and girls have several things in common; I bet you can guess a few.
