For your viewing pleasure I present a collection of railroad photographs I've taken over the past 30 years. I have pictures of locomotives - both steam and diesel - passenger car as well as passenger trains, freight cars, circus cars, and maintenance of way equipment. The photos were taken in the continental US as well as Alaska and Canada.
These photographs have been grouped in photo albums. I've tried my best to provide a brief, accurate description of the photograph as well as the date the picture was taken. Please send an email to me at conductor@vistadome.com with corrections of any errors that you find.
There are picture albums of Amtrak, VIA Rail, Providence and Worcester, Santa Fe,
Conrail, Alaska Railroad, Boston & Maine. There are photos of MBTA and MetroLink commuter rail. There's an album of train stations with a large collection of photos of Union Station in Worcester, Mass before and after renovations.
There are albums of tourist railroads; Edaville Railroad, the Orange Empire Railway Museum and Steamtown at Bellows Falls, Vermont and Steamtown NHS in Scranton, Pennsylvania and
the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg, PA. Along with all this are photos of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus train cars taken in 1983 and 2008 A few
non-photo images such as postcards as well as a few photographs I did not take are mixed in.
This is an ongoing project. New images and albums will be added as time permits so stop by every once in a while to see what's new.
The last album update was February 5, 2011.
