Another day trip
Saturday omscaler went to a Spring Fling in Attalla, Alabama. This trip was not particularly oriented toward trains, but I decided to go anyway. The last time I went to this area, I did see a “caboose” type railcar. As readers may recall, it had a new paint job. Apparently what happens is that a brakeman or conductor can ride in this “shove car” and take car of business but it is not a “caboose”. Oh well, things change. Back to the trip. I did snag a picture of the truss bridge on the main line near highway 77. The bridge looked dark brown. Perhaps not painted in a long time. I parked downtown and saw a lot of people looking at a lot of antiques. I checked some out as well. I did not see any train sets or even model railcars nor did I notice any toy trains. I did see some miniature goats, some wearing bandanas. It seems I arrived too late to see the miniature cow. Oh well, maybe next time. I also got some pics of the old building. I did also swing by downtown Gadsden and took some more pics. I got one of the old Coosa River swing bridge as well. While I was there, I located the venue for next months train show. See you there, omscaler
