Railroads, photography and insulators have always been some of my favorite hobbies. Have enjoyed many thousands of hours dealing with all of them.

Here is MAGNOLIA STATE RAILWAYS #77 (ex-MISSISSIPPIAN R.R.) at Armory, MS. Beautiful fall day (10-6-85) and a great day for a railfan excursion. Crew is "shooting the grease" to the engine in prepration for the day. The sun was right as was the smoke and steam. Life is grand. One of those days that you just felt great and had a great time enjoying life. The 2-8-0 was sold several times in years later and now resides in Canada.
