Here is an RS-1, showing off its Alco steam engine heritage at the Danbury Railway Museum. And a close-up of the sort hood end.

Even after this damage, the B&O Railroad Museum is, in my opinion, one of the finest museums of its type on the USA. They will recover. The details of their planning are already showing up on their web site. I just hope they can do it quiclkly enough to continuire their celebration of 175...

Great idea. Easy to swap trains and easy to swap backgrounds.

Here is how we got to Paris. I took this shot soon after getting off the Eurostar in Gare du Nord.

Yes, the Metro is kept very clean. Thanks for visiting my albums. I just finished adding more pictures there, so visit often. Also a special thanks for leaving a guest book entry. I wish more people did so. It is nice to know when you visit.

Taken in the late evening with rain off and on. This is the line with the rubber tires instead of conventional flanged steel wheels. It is a fast, smooth ride.

My wife and I made a quick trip to Paris to celebrate her birthday last month. Naturally I had to bring back a picture or two on a train theme. Here is the first one shot as a train was pulling into a metro station. Here's a train going through in the other direction. This gives a...

Those pictures made me feel as if I were there--well, almost, anyway. Thanks for recording a bit of history being preserved, and thanks for posting them here.

Best looking new calanders I have seen so far this year. Good job!

I was away on vacation when you started this thread. Good job. Keep up the experimenting. You are off to a good start and when you are comfortable with the new camera you will do even better. I'm anxious to see the results from the new, new camera.

The Danbury Railway Museum is located in the City of Danbury, CT. If you are going east on I-84, you would use exit 5 and follow the signs to the railroad station. On I-84 west, use exit 6. The museum is in the old Danbury Union Station, and part of it is the former New Haven railyard. The...

I know many of the members here are also fans of trucking and some wanted to know when this new museum opened. It opened about a week ago. Their web site: <http://www.goldenagetruckmuseum.com/> And I photographed four of their trucks just for a sample. Click here for those...

After reading through the ideas so far, all excellent, here are some if the ideas I have formulated. 1. A picture of anything. A locomotive must be included, but it can not be the central subject. 2. People who make the railroads run. 3. Items of infrastructure, which are small enough...

I know the feeling. Now that I have my digital camera, it is almost always with me. Makes me feel like I am working for a newspaper again.

I have been following this thread for a while without making any comment, just enjoying watching all that talent at work. However, when that cat showed up, I fell on the floor laughing. I have used two of the three major image editing packages mentioned, MGI and PSP7. MGI is very good and...

Billk, I have recently gone digital, but I probably will not give up film entirely. What I have done for the last three years is send my film to Kodak's Qualex lab. I order the normal double prints and a CD at the same time. They do the scans to the CD in Hi-Res, so I have good quality...

I picked this up from the Hartford paper by way of my Yahoo News link: From the Hartford Courant Station Fans Launch Restoration Drive Mon Jul 22, 8:43 AM ET By WILLIAM SCHUBERT When youths set fire to the historic Union Station in...

Good news. This board would not be the same without you. However, your health comes first, so I am sure we all understand and support you.

On Monday, March 25, 2002, the Danbury Railway Museum took delivery of an EMD SW-8, donated by the Pfizer Corporation. The unit is in excellent working condition and has already been put into service. With the arrival of the SW-8, the DRM can temporarily shut down their hard-working Alco...

I like those pictures. There is a good realistic feel about them.
