Some of my earliest and fondest memories from childhood were of laying
in my bed on a summer evening with the window open next to me and listening to
train whistles in the distance. I couldn't sleep since it was still light outside,
but mom insisted I go to bed anyway. Like many children of the 50s and 60s, I played with a full size Lionel train set which we always set up around the tree at Christmas. Since 1989, I have had the extraordinary opportunity to photograph operational vintage steam and diesel locomotives and rolling stock used for recreational excursions in Ohio. I would like to thank Midwest Railway Preservation Society, the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railway, and the Ohio Central Railroad for providing me access to capture these images, with special thanks to Fred Neusser, Pete Birgeles, and Jerry Jacobson. |
