Ever since I was a little boy, trains have intrigued me. The linear movement of goods from point A to point B. The raw power of the locomotives, and the majestic caboose. It is probably fitting that I ended up working in the rail transportation industry. In any case, the following are some posts, or links to photo albums that I have made over the years, regarding trains.
