David W. Salter

David Salter is known throughout the southeastern railfan community—and far beyond—for his classic rail photographs taken over several decades, from the 40’s to the present. Old Alabama Rails is pleased to collaborate with Mr. Salter in presenting several of his photographs taken of motive power approaching or leaving the Montgomery area in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. We hope you will enjoy the show!
