Viewing Album:  Rail-Fanning 2016 Vol. 9
 
By:Matthew Schimmel
Dates:9/3/2016 - 9/27/2016
Album Info:This album covers my adventures for the month of September. I did not get many chances to get away from work but I did catch a few goodies. I also managed to catch a BNSF train (SPM-GAL) with all tie cars, mostly marked for the BNSF or ATSF. It was quite the sight to see. Thanks for taking a look and I hope you all like the pictures. ~Matt
