R.R. Museum

Stained glass window of the
locomotive "Texas".

For employes there's the
familiar time clock. Don't
cheat the clock, or else.




Pour a cup of coffee,
don't wake the cat'
it belongs to the boss.



Kick back and push that
pencil.


Madsnapper's were every where !!

R.R. Museum Acworth Ga.

Show casing several types of
locomotives of the day. These
were not the same gauge rail
tracks as the rails of today and
were used by private companys
to move their product around.
Mostly mining and timber.
The reflection in the glass is the
famous locomotive "General" of
civil war fame. I watched a video
at the museum that gave an
account of this famous run and
it was a harrowing feat by some
verry brave men.

Featured here is a setup of how these
early locomotives were built and assembled.

Below is an almost completely
assembled locomotive.

Feathered against the cold.


Look how this "Great Egret" fluffs against
the cold. Great doesn't necessarily
mean Slick Dresser.

In cold weather like this all of the birds
are laying low and braced against
the cold and drizzling rain.

Interesting Green Heron.

While thinking about something
to post, I came across this very
interesting bird. look close at the
photos because they are not
very clear.
Above and below, if you click on the
Photo you'll see a dragonfly in the
Herons beak.


Check out the feet on this Heron. The
feet have joints much like the joint's
on our finger's that can wrap around a
limb or branch, also there seems to be
long claw like nails. It would be hard to 
make this bird let go of it's perch
