Here are my favorite photos and videos from 2013. I was blessed to make three trips to Narrow Gauge Country, a feat not likely to be repeated until I retire. The year began and ended with trips to the Texas State Railroad. In all, I got up to the TSR eight times between March and December.
It was a good year!
