"A private railroad car is not an acquired taste. One takes to it immediately."-Eleanore Robson Belmont
Gina, author of the blog, Gina's Space, submitted Railroads in our recent Round Robin Challenge Pool challenge, and I thought it might be especially fun to do now that it is winter. I look a ride to Old Sacramento, to get a photo or two at the Railroad Museum, but unfortunately the day I chose was not too good for taking photos! LOL! It was POURING RAIN. Raining buckets of cats and dogs I tell you!. LOL. It is a really beautiful section of Sacramento, and I know I will be getting there before winter is over, but for now I have a nice collection of photos from my archive. Some of them are from a visit I made to Old Sacramento, the day before Thanksgiving, in 2006. I hope they bring you a smile. :)

You have tons of nice train photos! And a great variety! I also like your black kitty in the pumpkin costume I saw on your sidebar. :)
oooh....what some wonderful pix...but then i expected nothing less. :) i especially love that top one...beautiful!
Lisa's right - there's a great variety here. That first shot is just amazing; it's all so colorful, and I love the engineer hanging off the side. The Tilden Park one is cool, and that last shot is intriguing. Cool! And now I feel better about the fact that I did all archive shots too!
All your photos are fantastic...but that first one took my breath away!!!
My husband and I spent more than one lovely afternoon at the Sazerac Saloon in Virginia City. Thanks for taking us back.
Great pictures.
These are all wonderful but the top one & the last one are outstanding~
I love antiques, wish we had an old train yard by us. I need to find a place in NY........this was a cool subject for this challenge!
Marie
That top picture is just gorgeous!! I love all the other ones too! Never have seen the Hayward Amtrak station as we always get off and on at Jack London Square when we come down by train. (Done it twice now since living up here.)
Thanks for the warm welcome as well! :^D
Hi Carly,
That first photo is just wonderful, with all its intense colors and the engineer hanging on the side. The last one could be in a magazine - very beautiful. Your shots are always amazing.
:-)
Vicki
Great photos. I love the one of Tilden Park. That little engine is very cool. I lived in Sacrament till I was 8 years old, then moved up north to the redwoods area till I graduated.
Love your pictures, Carly -- trains and train stations are very interesting to me. You more than do them justice!
I totally love the first picture. The way you captured the rail, the train, the engineer. Made me gasp when it came up. OOOOOOO, AHHHHH is about all I can say!!
Very cool. I am glad to be apart of this challenge.
That's a very interesting picture collection of trains ! They look so different to the once we have here in Belgium. Thanks for your comment !
Great shots, Carly. I love the old caboose!
Beautiful photos Carly and thank you for the nice comment and warm welcome to the Round Robin Challenge. I remember you from your AOL days. Martha :-)
Great photos here, Carly. You've done a great job on the RR Challenge.
