To Shiny Rails

The 2013 Central Coast Railroad Festival is “in the bag”. It was a jammed pack weekend of activities, and I think I got to fewer venues than ever myself this year as there was so much happening. Anyway, photos are indexed here.

I’ve gotten quite lucky this year getting photos on covers for the Central Coast Railroad Festival. Journal Plus is number two, and there are more of my photos inside along with a detailed schedule for the festival (see pp. 30-31). The current issue of the magazine is here.

It all comes together as Matteo ends up on the cover of Central Coast Family magazine. Their October issue includes much information about the Central Coast Railroad Festival coming up October 10-13, 2013.

Lots of layouts to see, events to attend, and excurstions to ride! And it’s all now in the history books. Here’s an index to the photos we have of the 2012 Central Coast Railroad Festival: http://ccrrf.com/photo-index-2012.html

Lynn and I thoroughly enjoyed a Wine Rail Excursion put on by the Central Coast Railroad Festival. We took the Coast Starlight from SLO, over the grade, to Paso Robles where but a few feet away from the train was our destination winery, D’Anbino. The CCRRF offers these excursions every 2nd Sunday of the month; check their website <CCRRF.com>. Check out this web page for photos and more info: http://ccrrf.com/120512.html

The 2011 Central Coast Railroad Festival is “in the can!” What a wild and crazy weekend of railroading activity all over the central coast! I took lots of photos, many of which are indexed at this page: http://CCRRF.com/photo-index-2011.html
