Viewing Album:  Railfanning Weekend in Alabama and Mississippi
 
By:Nathan Bailey
Dates:6/7/2012 - 6/10/2012
Album Info:On June 8 & 9, 2012, the KCS Historical Society held their 31st annual convention in Meridian, MS. The album captures some of the action around Meridian's Rail Museum and KCS traffic on the Mississippi River bridge at Vicksburg. In the days leading up to the KCSHS Convention, my family also spent a few days on the Alabama gulf coast and visted the Museum at Foley, AL. I've included some shots from this museum too.
