Maydelle is one of the best spots on the line for photography. The Depot makes the perfect backdrop and we used this spot 4 times in 2 days.

 

 

Maydelle is the Maintenance-of-Way Yard and Headquarters for the TSR.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pete plans the next move.

 

 

The Train Order pole was constructed my Everett Lueck for a TSR charter several years ago.

The orders it contains give T&P 610 clearance to run to Rusk. No one ever opened it to see the joke.

I had lunch here once. It was great. Sorry to see it closed.

 

 

 

Maydelle was the site for an extended night photo shoot Saturday evening.

I've wanted to do this for years and have a few ideas how we could make it a tad better in the future.
