For years I've driven the back roads around the area that I live in East Tennessee. I carry a camera almost all the time and have found some interesting subjects. The first two trains were in the yard of an old gentleman in the neighboring county. He lived in a very modest home, almost a shack, but owned two full size locomotives and several steam tractors. he's put down track around several acres of woods and yard and occasionally would fire up his engines and take kids in the neighborhood for a ride. Good guy! He also had a water tower and a Nash metropolitan with rail wheels on it that he ran around on the rails. Unfortunately he's gone and the trains were sold.

The 3rd images was from another train I found in North carolina. The neg was severely under exposed but I printed on Agfa Brovira #6 which gave a cool image. Can't remember the camera but it was a 35mm. May have been my Nikon F with 50mm.
