On Monday, I went up to Spring City, TN to view the once of an lifetime event, also known as the 2017 solar eclipse.
Heading up, along with taking a dog, the traffic was fine. Once we got to Spring City, we quickly got a spot next to the old train depot. And before the total eclipse, I got some train shots.
While waiting for the eclipse, I took some pictures of my mom’s dog Minnie. Yep, she knows what a camera is!
And then, the eclipse! When it went to total eclipse, many in the small town cheered. Yes, even a train had to come through during the total eclipse.

And yes, traffic was a major headache going back home. This video from the YouTube channel Live Storms Media gives a taste of what it was like.
Other people from Alabama, such as Steel City Urbex, were also in Spring City.

Another person from Alabama, Kevin Henderson from SkyBama, was in a plane over Nashville 12,000 feet up from the ground!
Overall, it was a great show!
