Polaroid was the medium used by my parents to record my childhood. But then they - the prints - have held up. I can still remember the smell that the film gave off as it slid free and self developed. I bet we would be shocked how many slides and prints were shot by railfans down on the old C-Line and on the TAG. They just will never see the light of day because the family of the photographer doesn¡¯t realize what they have.

?I certainly wish I had a better camera and foresight when I was a kid. There I was embedded in TAG and CofG and never made a photo until 1970. Ouch! Thanks for the review, Warren.

?Today I purchased a copy of Ralcon Wagner¡¯s ¡°Tennessee Central Railway, the First 50 years¡±. It is by Arcadia Publishing for those of you familiar with their format. I haven¡¯t really had time to do more than thumb through it but it appears to be a worthwhile addition to a southeastern railfan¡¯s library. Why a heads up about a non TAG book? Well it is important to remember that C. E. James, intended to connect TAG to his Chattanooga Traction Company and electrify TAG and build an extension from the CTC to a connection with the TC. And continue the TAG to Birmingham.
