Take a moment and check out the growing blog of photos already gathered there: http://hawkinsrails.net/interchange.htm Have a photo you'd like to post? Send it to [email protected] with location, date, and any other good info worth sharing. + Be sure to check out the always-expanding tribute to my pal Gordon Payne's Louisiana, Texas & Pacific (Outdoor Division). It may not be the largest outdoor railroad around, but no one beats Gordon's scratch-built models. This is a little pike with a lot of heart and scale. http://hawkinsrails.net/ltp/index.htm + Many of you know what a fan I am of the Columbus & Greenville in Mississippi. One big news item this year is the sale of the road's venerable office car #1, the beloved "King Cotton." See updates and pictures here: http://hawkinsrails.net/shortlines/cagy/cagy_cotton.htm + 2011 and 2012 have included a number of visits to railroad trails, tourist railroads, and historical sites. A few include: Dollywood theme park: http://hawkinsrails.net/lagniappe/dolly/dolly.htm Virginia Creeper Trail: http://hawkinsrails.net/lagniappe/creeper/creeper.htm Durbin & Greenbrier Valley Railroad: http://hawkinsrails.net/lagniappe/dgvr/dgvr.htm Ashtabula, Carson & Jefferson Scenic Line: http://hawkinsrails.net/lagniappe/acjr/acjr.htm + My father was a big collector of passenger timetables, especially for many of the southern roads. Check out a sampling of colorful covers at http://hawkinsrails.net/mainlines/time/time.htm + Are you a Gulf, Mobile & Ohio fan? Be sure to check out my growing sections for the GMO and her antecedent lines: Gulf, Mobile & Ohio: http://hawkinsrails.net/mainlines/gmo/gmo.htm Mobile & Ohio: http://hawkinsrails.net/mainlines/mo/mo.htm Gulf, Mobile & Northern: http://hawkinsrails.net/mainlines/gmn/gmn.htm New Orleans Great Northern: http://hawkinsrails.net/mainlines/nogn/nogn.htm > What's next at HawkinsRails.net? - Lagniappe pages honoring three of my favorite locomotive models: The early Baldwin 6-axle road switcher, the GP8/10/11 Paducah rebuilds, and the ugly-duckling but workhorse CF7. If you've got roster shots of any of these, I'd be honored to feature them when these pages launch. - I plan to greatly expand our current New Orleans Streetcar collection, as I have much more material to process and organize. - With the help of my older brother Jack, I intend to launch this year the HawkinsRails TEAM TRACK: an online store where I plan to sell a great many railroad books, truck and automobile books, and O Scale kits and models. Stay tuned! HawkinsRails.net is enjoying its 5th year online, and the correspondence and feedback I have received has made the scanning and coding work worthwhile, many times over. My continued thanks to John Muehleisen for hosting the site for me ... and always increasing the storage limits! High green, everyone. Do stay in touch.
