Photographs Finally! I finally converted to digital and I love it. These are a few of the photos I've taken recently of the TC&W. Every photo now has a dedicated page for remarks and information for the photo. As you can see, most of the photos are taken in eastern Minnesota. Since going digital I've only made it out west a few times on the TC&W, but have plans for more trips to add some variety here. If notice any errors, let me know. Hope you enjoy them!
