In the Fall, I stayed a week at the Depot Inn & Suites in La Plata, MO.  As a Field Reporter and Photographer for TrainWeb.com, I  ventured into the countryside and nearby towns to photography both old and new subjects.  I was on my umpteenth trip to the Depot Inn & Suites to co-present the "Rail Travel Writing and Photography Workshop" held there October 16 - 20, 2011.  (A link to that Workshop is at the bottom of this report.)

This report is broken into several separate Web Pages by following the Table of Contents below.  All Individual reports can be accessed individually, if you are interested in a single Page.  To share it with friends...just copy the address for this page and send it to them.  All the Individual Reports link back to this page, and to the following page in the report if you want to view them in a series.

We take workshop participants to some of these locations.  If you are interested in next year's "Rail Travel Writing and Photography Workshop" send me an e-mail:  Carl@TrainWeb.com
