Lewisburg resident Jerry Davis shows some of the thousands of historic photographs taken by his late father James during Hinton's Historic Railroad Days Festival Saturday inside the town's railroad museum. Davis' father James worked for 43 years as a crew dispatcher and spent a great deal of that time photographing fellow workers, yielding the massive detailed photo collection on display Saturday. The collection doesn't reside in Hinton's museum however, making its appearance a real treat. Since James' passing in 1991, Jerry said it's remained private, only being brought out to the museum for display and browsing for two weekends a year during the annual festival.
