Richard Whitenight General Amazing how you were able to freeze the motion of the train and throw your camera to one side, just before you were struck by the train :-) 12/9/2006 8:11:33 PM
Tim Huemmer General Hey Kim, fascinating photo -- I never heard of this before! One small correction, if this is in TR, then it should be on Greenville & Northern Tracks 12/11/2006 5:55:14 PM

John Boyd General The train was owned by Pickens railroad's owner (60s and early 70s), James F. Jones, but it's running on G&N tracks. 7/22/2007 9:17:35 PM
Fred Stuckmann General Great shot Kim. 6/20/2012 7:02:11 PM
