Viewing Album:  Where the Appalachian Trail crosses railroad tracks
 
By:Bob Krug
Dates:9/28/2015 - 9/28/2015
Album Info:Besides my proclivities toward foaming I enjoy hiking the Appalachian Trail in sections. It recently occurred to me that I've got postings in various albums here of places where the A-T crosses railroad tracks. So here's a hybrid album of previously-posted photos organized under a different theme
