    Ray,
    I was, until early 1999, a resident of Paris, Texas, and had the opportunity to shoot most of the shortlines in that area, as well as the Columbus & Greenville from Greenville to Greenwood, MS. I've gotten used to seeing a secondhand Geep pulling a string of pulpwood flats & boxcars filled with paper down a tree-lined track.
    Do you have pictures from your April meeting? If so, would you be interested in
    sharing with us?

    Hmmmmmmmmmm....lessee.....some more of my
    favorite Southern railfanning spots:

    Kansas City Southern, Heavener, OK (yard, fuel & crewchange stop, branch to Waldron, AR
    helper station), and south along US 59 to Mena, AR over Rich Mountain

    Texarkana, AR/TX, in front of Union Station, or from the 9th St. bridge shooting KCS, MP
    and Cotton Belt action (MP and SSW are now in UP)

    Tower 55, Ft. Worth. Mecca to Texas trainwatchers- ATSF, MKT, BN, SP, and Amtrak
    (now BNSF, UP and Amtrak- soon it'll have Trinity Rail Express' commuter trains from Dallas!WOOHOO!)

    Afton, OK, along the Frisco/BN/BNSF main. It's the junction of the Cherokee and Afton Subs, and a lot of freights roll thru here.
