They just walked out of the cornfield at the Ensor farm, looked around, and Cy walked down the tracks to near the grade crossing at Sadie. Sherman went directly for # 11, which was sitting cold at the time. A chill came over the air...
As these two were gentlemen in life, I expect no evil from them now. As the locals said after I showed them the photos (taken from my Speed Graphic box camera), "Them ain't haints, they's wouldn't do nary a bit of evil h'yar!"
In other words, such distinguished men wouldn't come back as bad spirits. At the worst, I was told I might get spectral letters of admonishment over some of the working conditions on the layout.

Sid Richardson, photographer/artist for the Elizabethton Star, was taking shots of the ET&WNC Stoney Creek branch, a rare doubleheader passing through Winner, Tennessee.

Not yet. It hasn't come within several hundred miles of where I am yet. But the Union Pacific does run within a few miles of my house, so maybe someday. UP is trying to get the most out of the money for buying/rebuilding 4014 to operation. I've seen UP 3985 and ridden behind N&W 1218 (a 2-6-6-4) when she was still in steam, but nothing as big as 4014!a little OT but have you gone out to see the Big Boy 4014 making its rounds around the U.S. ?

Thank you. Those were taken with a cell phone at as close eye level as I could get. It gets pretty good depth of field for the most part.Excellent, the first one in your last post is my favourite, well done!
