Last weekend I took a good road trip and put on over 250 miles.  I went to the following locations:  Hamlin, Tuxedo, Sagerton, Rule, Rochester, O'Brien, Knox City, Munday, and Bomarton.  It was a good day for photos.  Not a cloud to be seen other than a few wisps here and there. 

I've got a good friend that is a huge railfan and I've learned a lot about the history of the numerous railroad lines that used to run through the area.  With my interest piqued, I chose my route last week in order to try to find some of the depots that used to service the passengers and freight that travelled through the area as well as my normal taste for old homes and businesses.  Success!!  I located the depots in Hamlin, Rule, Rochester and Knox City.  The depot in Sagerton is no longer there, but there's a park that has a couple of the crossing signs and the town sign as a tribute to the line that formerly came through.

My favorite find of the day was Bomarton.  There is an abandoned Catholic church, St Johns, that was built in 1936, but was actually established in 1908.  I'm not sure when it was last used.  The sign doesn't give an indication.  There is also an old school that was built in 1907, but is now just a shell.  The roof is completely collapsed and the floor is completely rotted and gone except for what was probably the Gymnasium.

I've posted the pics for this trip and marked them as **NEW** on their respective pages.  Take a look when you get a chance, and I hope you like them!!
