Some old photos

Unread post by Old Hogger »

I'm working on uploading some old photos (mostly mid 80's) to Flickr. Still trying to figure it out. Hopefully this link works
http://www.flickr.com/photos/organize/?start_tab=sets

Start with loco photos of the GTW. If it works, plenty more of other railroads to post.

I was hoping to put them in a separate folder, but I guess Flickr can't do that. I've got quite a few more railroads to do, each in it's own folder would be best. The link was supposed to be for Sets. Sorry, I'll look for somewhere else to post them.

Larry, you can put them into a set and people can view them in that set. You have to set your photostream so when it pops up it shows photos and your sets on the right. When you click to see your photostream, there should be a link down at the bottom of the page that says "Did you know you can change the layout of this page?" Click on it and it will give you the options of what people will see when they view your photostream.

Sure wish you have some of Durand in the forties and early fifties. Spent a lot of time there as a kid going to my uncle';s farm in Ovid. I know the AA tracks were on the east side of the depot, but I can't remembering them being there.

Norm - I'm old but not that old. I really only did a few years in the 80's railfanning.

I'm giving up on trying to do these on Flickr. I am creating albums on RR Pic Archives instead. Here is the GTW album, so far.

I'm pretty lazy about labeling locos as dash two and such. Feel free to make any correcting comments.

I'm missing a couple of photo albums, as soon as I get them back I'll post more. Next up will be various railroads from the mid 80's.

I like the pics of your layout Hogger. Especially the ones that show the industries served by rail :)
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

I really enjoyed the Chessie album. Reminded me of railfanning around Plymouth as a kid. Thanks for posting.
