Seen in East Texas: TSR

The Texas State Railroad, is a railroad preservation effort and a class operation. It currently runs steam excursion trains daily over the 25 mile line between Palestine and Rusk in east Texas. Very scenic, nice grades, nice stack talk.

we took a trip on the TSRR and enjoyed much. At the end of the trip the steam locomotive broke down and we had to wait for a diesel to come to the rescue and pull us to the depot.
