Tiny house

Canton, Mississippi  -  photo by Allan Leese

Our Mississippi correspondent writes: "I took this picture in Canton, MS, in the backyard of the Nissan Plant, but out in the county. I was at a church for a funeral and saw this "building". An older gentleman I was talking to said that when he was a young kid, at one point, he and his family lived in this structure."

I am pleased to have the above photo published in the current (March, 2016) issue of Railfan and Railroad Magazine. The photo was taken on October 21, 2015 in Frostburg, Maryland as the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad excursion pulled into the station led by two GP30 diesel locomotives. The photo originally appeared on Photography In Place (here).

Jefferson College in Washington, Mississippi was named in honor of Thomas Jefferson. Chartered in 1802, the college operated until 1962.
