Welcome to the RRPictureArchives.NET contributor site of Ralph Hawkins.  

I have enjoyed taking railroad-related photographs for most of my life, especially roster shots of locomotives and interesting rolling stock.  Growing up in the South, I have a special love for deep south shortline railroads old and new, as well as the GM&O, the IC/ICG, and the Southern Railway. But I love all kinds of trains, wherever I find them!  My favorite road? The venerable Columbus & Greenville, in Mississippi ... the "Delta Route."
