Viewing Album:  Old photos in South Carolina
 
By:Jonathan Hinely
Dates:4/2/1980 - 5/3/2013
Album Info:When I arrived home from school today my dad had a present for me. One of his customers figured out I liked trains, and he sent home a disk of his railfaning shots. Photos from the 80s, to today. I figured I would share them with you guys. As it sent a lot of my railfans down memory lane, and maybe it can bring a smile to you.
