Day Trip: SE Railway Museum

I have finally gotten around to some edits from the SE Railway Museum in Duluth, GA.  This is a great location to travel back in time and even sit in the same rail car that President Hardy traveled in. It is not too off the beaten path which is nice.    This location is ideal for photo shoots with all the textures, colors etc.  and I will definitely be keeping this in mind for some future photo shoots.


My favorite rail car




So much rusty goodness everywhere



There were so many areas I was unable to explore because of my bad back and also as a woman, I try to be cognizant about not roaming off and exploring secluded areas.  







I am having back surgery this Monday finally and I am so looking forward to being able to walk freely soon pain free so I can bring you more photos from my adventures!








I found out today ( too late) that this Railway Museum has a photography contest every year!  So I am adding that to my "to do list" for next year since I missed the deadline this year.  




Don't even ask.....



Sometimes I wish I could go back in time when travel was considered glamorous and kind of a big deal. I remember back in the 1970's when I took my first plane trip and how people got "dressed up" to travel...now people wear pj's and saggy pants.  The glamour is gone...which I suppose is both good and bad..


Sleeper car sleeping quarters...they were so tiny, but then again this car was back from the 1950s when ADA wasn't a consideration for travelers...
