I have not been able to update the blog since November due to a large number of activities and work related things I have been doing.
In December I was blessed to be a part of the amazing Polar Express event at Railtown 1897 SHP in California. Each year the event (a reenactment of the famous movie) is put on at several locations around the country. Part of the benefits of being on the staff was unrestricted access to the roundhouse, shops, yard, station and repair facilities. Of course this was a photographers dream...

| Ground views are always interesting... especially the rust spots on the railhead. |

| No filters here... just the vibrant fall colors and whooshing steam. This was taken from the rear platform of the 2901 First Class Parlor-car (part of my all access to restricted areas). |

Till next time...
