Wimberley, Blanco & Southern Railroad

The Wimberley, Blanco & Southern Railroad is located down in Texas. Two of my good friends run this backyard railroad. The railroad was just completed last year and has alot of nice scenery around it. The first 13 photo's are of when it was under construction.
