hawkinsrails.net / mainlines
HawkinsRails.net represents 50 years of railfan photography, shared by a father and son. Here we feature locomotives and rolling stock, both passenger and freight, from mainline operations in the southeast United States. Parts of this collection date back to the transition era of the late 1950s, including several collections of "fallen flags" -- mainline roads that no longer exist, having gone defunct or been absorbed into larger systems. All photographs are by John or Ralph Hawkins unless otherwise noted. See our reprints page to learn more about ordering a reprint or digital file of a particular photograph on this page. All aboard!
