And another thing: Texas State Railroad in Texas Highways

While I was at Kroger's this morning buying milk, I picked up a copy of the current Texas Highways magazine. It's easy to spot - Engine 201 of the Texas State Railroad is steaming toward you on the cover. The railroad is the cover story of the May 2009 issue, with the story and beautiful photos beginning on 24 with a cool double-page photo similar to the cover shot. The story details the railroad's passage from state park to American Heritage Railways and mentions some of the unique events that AHR owner Al Harper has brought in to boost ridership. Written by Randy Mallory, a talented freelance writer/photographer in Tyler and photographed by Erich Schlegel, an award-winning Dallas Morning News photographer, it's a nice read and wonderful publicity statewide for the railroad.
