I hope everyone is sitting down. I went on a ride this weekend and stopped and took pictures.

First picture is the Dan Ingalls overlook on 39 just out of Goshen, VA

We did something different this year. Instead of just stopping in Cass and taking pictures of the train, we took the half day ride up to Bald Knob. Here we are waiting to depart.

The colors were popping. We were in the end car(actually the front as the two coal fired steam engines pushed us up to just over 4800'.

I have a bunch of other pictures from my camera to go through. All the pictures posted do far were taken with my phone. Not too shabby.

More to come.

 
Boy that train ride looks like fun. I've always wanted to drive a train.

Nice colors too - we were in New England a couple weeks back. I've never seen anything like that. Simply beautiful.

More, please....

 
This trip was the kitty's titties. What a great time & what GREAT color! Nice pics, Bob. I'm waiting to see the photos on your camera, Mark's Camera & Barbara's camera. I don't think Spanky took any.

 
Very nice. The east coast fall colors are far better than what we get in the northwest. For the most part the trees turn to a rusty looking brown. The are exceptions but it doesn't cover entire hillsides like in your photo. Nice camera on your phone. Looking forward to more!
