Well I have good news. My video editing computer seems to be working now. When I get some time I will start going through my video. In the meantime, if the weather holds out, I plan to be trackside on the eastern and middle parts of the CSX Boston Subdivison or whatever the call the old B&A or Conrail’s Boston Line. Hopefully the trains will cooperate along with the weather.

What to Expect
What do I want to do with this website? I have asked that a lot. This is what I plan to do. I plan to post some selected photos from my various railfan trips and categorize them by trip and location. I also plan to have some pages dedicated to my model railroading and what I have learned along the way. I will share it with you. Eventually, I will load up some videos I have taken. This will be down the road though. Enjoy!

Introductory Information
Welcome to my website! I have been a rail-fan and model railroader since the early 90’s. But truth be told I have liked trains since I was a youngster growing up in the 60’s and 70’s in southern Ohio. In the 80’s I moved to eastern Massachusetts and to interested in trains again in the early 90’s. The town I lived in had Conrail’s Boston Line splitting it in half. The rest is history.
I soon discovered railroad photography, and moved on to video. I still do both but presently I favor digital photography with a good digital SLR. I have shot video and made a couple of DVDs that I have I have sold on eBay and at a local hobby shop. I have plenty of video sitting, just waiting to be to be loaded up on the computer, edited and put in final form. Alas, the motherboard on my main editing computer died and I decided to see if I can purchase a new mac sometime after Christmas 2008. When you have a child in college, car insurance, house insurance, dental work and a major car repair bill come due at the same time, they take priority over a hobby. In the meantime, I will upload my stills. I will still shoot video, but for the time being it will be cataloged and archived for future use.
As for model railroading. I have been into model railroading since the early 90’s as well. I belonged to a club for a while, but due to lease arrangements they had to move to a place that made it impractical for me to get to on a regular basis. But this gave me time to work on my own home layout. I plan to share my information and some pictures here as well. I also plan to bring over the information, that I had maintained on my MSN group site to here. MSN was limiting my storage and my comments and photo’s outgrew that site.
Thanks for stopping by.
