Subject: This is me sitting inside the red passenger car after a long day on the boat. The inside of this car was far better than most hotels I've stayed in. No cheap plastic cups. Clean, polished....perfect. It is truly ashame that it no longer exists.

Subject: We are now SW of the plant looking NE. I have to wonder. Looking at the lower left of the photo, I wonder how the residents feel about their new backyard? If they like trains, that's good. If they like corn, that's good. If they have a job there, that's good. If they don't....too late.

Subject: This veiw is from 3500 feet while looking north along the Genesee River at Letchworth State Park near Mount Morris, NY. Despite being late in the season, many trees still have very colorfull leaves on them. But the night befores freeze is causing them to rapidly fall.

Subject: After crossing Lake Erie from Sunset Bay and the lake getting rougher we decided to make call at Port Colborne. I was stunned to find this Norfolk Southern "rail ferry barge" docked in Canada. I arrived just after sunset and with elevators on both sides, Not the greatest lighting. This name of this vessel is the "Windsor".

There are three sets of rails, all painted in white and can been seen clearly in this photo. I came upon this in August of 2007 and I haven't returned to see if it is still docked.

Subject: Today I was riding my bike down to the water front in Buffalo and decided to look for the PennCentral boxcar that is sitting behind Mills Welding along Broadway. I was looking for it along Old Broadway south of the CSX main and I couldn't find it.

Coming home via Broadway I came across Greene St just to check it out and I accidently came across the boxcar. How appropriate that the street is named Greene and I found the PC car. The reason I couldn't find it before is that it is covered heavily with overgrowth on the opposite side. You can't see it until fall.

Subject: This photo was taken while on the Amtrak Santa Train on December 2nd 2007. I knew the car would be in view but as luck would have it, an outbound train from the Frontier Yard got in the way. But, I was able to grab this picture because a flat car which was in-between two boxcars at the precise moment the Penn Central came into view. I didn't even wait for the auto-focus. It was strictly a point and shoot with only 1 second to get it.

Subject: A beautiful fall afternoon in Letchworth State Park. Although no one is allowed on the bridge, everyone was. Even as a NS train came through. He was going slow. It's hard to tell if he was going slow because of track conditions or because of all the people walking the bridge.
