| Overview | Franklin Co., VA - Many people were affected by this week's flash flooding. And while a lot of folks have cleaned up and moved on, others need a little extra time to pick up the mess.
The Blue Ridge Live Steamers have called Burnt Chimney home for 25 years now, which is where they relocated after a natural disaster ruined their first home.
Large model trains have been a part of much of Jim Humphrey's adult life. In fact, his company makes them for customers all over the world. He's even turned his rural Franklin County property into a large train set that is the backdrop for a club of train enthusiasts dubbed the Blue Ridge Live Steamers.
It's a passion that literally washed away before Humphrey knew what happened.
