What's Next for RMTransit
An amazing historic and scenic #railroad running near #MtRainier National Park had a huge setback for future expansion with a trestle burning to the ground. They’re still running their current line and rail cycle adventures but need help sorting out the mess and how they’ll move forward re: cleanup, planning, rebuilding and all the hoops and regulations therein.

Where I've Been | TAKT with RMTransit
My dramatic arrival in #RochesterNY earlier this week. I stepped off this #Amtrak train, carried my luggage across a snowy park, and captured the train crossing High Falls, before getting dinner at Genesee Brew House as recommended by y'all.
This is one reason I almost always carry my cameras on work road trips. I took a slight detour to follow the G&W Chattahoochee Industrial and at Hilton, Georgia, I saw these (also G&W) Hilton and Albany units. I haven't seen an SD-45 in a long time, much less in (faded) UP livery. f/8 and be there. #photography #trains #railfan #G&W #diesel
