Eastern Railroad Discussion > A boy with his trainDate: 03/17/23 21:56 A boy with his train Author: srman Recently I found this bench with a boy and his train while visiting the Bremen Georgia area. Now I just needed a train passing behind. Finally a light power move G87 passes behind.

Date: 03/18/23 05:41 Re: A boy with his train Author: santafe199 I saw this image yesterday and immediately thought: "IOTD"! But I didn't want to put a jinx on it by predicting an IOTD outcome for today. None-the-less, I am very pleased to start the day with my usual cuppa joe, and this exemplary image to enjoy all day long! I give it an A+ in all categories, especially composition. Well done, sir... :^)
Lance/199 Date: 03/18/23 06:32 Re: A boy with his train Author: SR2 Agreed, definite IOTD. What a great scene to capature!
SR2 Date: 03/18/23 06:53 Re: A boy with his train Author: Rule99 Excellent. This is in a park or greenspace of some kind? Name?
It's a notebook item for future travels. thank you. Date: 03/18/23 07:11 Re: A boy with his train Author: cinder Alway curious and seeking a geographical perspective, I went looking for the "Boy on Bench" in Bremen, GA,.which is 50 miles west of Atlanta I found him in Depot Park "watching all the trains go by." The east-west line is the former Southern, now Norfolk Southern to and from Atlanta and the lesser-used north-south line is the former Central of Georgia, also now NS. The light engine movement is on the north-south line. The Walgreen's in the background helped with the location and perspective.
According to a web site for Depot Parlk, more than 40 trains a day pass by and a scanner tells of the movements. Bremen Depot Park | Official Georgia Tourism & Travel Website | Explore Georgia.org 1.

And that statue of the little boy would have been me, for sure! Congrats on the IOTD.
Nathan Date: 03/18/23 09:14 Re: A boy with his train Author: Rule99 cinder: very good illustrated post. Busy rails there.
I realized, looking at the original photo, a search for walgreen's in Bremen would have gotten me within 400 feet of the statue. 😉 cinder Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Alway curious and seeking a geographical > perspective, I went looking for the "Boy on Bench" > in Bremen, GA, Date: 03/18/23 10:07 Re: A boy with his train Author: srman Thanks everybody for your comments!
