"My daughter Kayla and I stopped by the main shops of the Livonia, Avon & Lakeville Railroad on the first Monday after school let out. We got this shot of ex-NYSW Alco C-430 #3006 in the storage line outside the shop at Lakeville, New York. Kayla loves trains almost as much as me, but she hates to run toy trains, she says she prefers to operate our home layout "like a real railroad." When I was her age, I was all about crashing 'em into each other! |

I took this at the famous Tehachapi Loop in California.
During the summer of 2003, my friend Lou Capwell and I
went on an 8,000-mile road trip to see the country, break
in his new car, and, to railfan as much of the West as
possible. Lou is hiding in the shadows at the bottom of
the photo, observing a very long BNSF train 739 North
wind through the famous Loop. June 28, 2003 |

"My
beloved wife took this picture of me in Bono, Arkansas,
on March 28, 2003. According to my railroader friends,
all railfans exist on a diet of Moon Pies and Yoo-Hoo.
So when Lisa and I saw this BNSF stack train stopped in
beautiful downtown Bono, I bought a Moon Pie at the local
convenience store and posed for this lovely picture. The
hogger poked his head out the window to ask what we were
up to, and we all had a nice chat for a few minutes." |

"This was taken in August 2002 at the junction in
Palmer, Mass. My wife and I were on vacation (not a railfan
trip), but my loving wife puts up with a bit of railfanning
during our trips. On this particular day we had been at
Palmer for about 3 hours when this photo was taken. Her
face says it all. Needless to say we didn't stick around
that much longer after the photo was taken." |

"The
photo was taken (March 3, 1972), developed, and printed
by the late E. Lee Haltermann. We were both taking Super
8 movies and 35 mm slides of the colorful Amtrak trains
of the day, which routinely included UP sleepers on Florida
trains and NH coaches. Lee took both slides and black-and-white
prints. We were all grad students (chemistry) at Penn,
so we frequented the South Street bridge. Mike and I (facing
camera) are still avid railfans." |

"This is at Abrams Yard,
Pa. on the ex-RDG main line (now Norfolk Southern). This
picture was taken by my friend Mr. John R. Woodland Jr.
in 1999. We had permission to tour the engine storage
tracks. My friend John has been going down to Abrams Yard
for years, every body knows him there. The Engine crew
calls him "The Number Guy " He writes down all
the locomotive numbers and other car numbers too. We always
think "safety" where ever we go." |
