Makes me sad that I was not a railfan back in the 60s and 70s when I could have gotten a ton of pics of SP, SSW, and ATSF geeps and what have ya.

Hi Gary---I think we all have those regrets.As long as I can remember,I've always been interested in trains but it wasn't until the mid 80's that I started taking pictures.The Canadian National was still operating steam until 1960---I was 13 then and can remember chasing the last of those wonderful locomotives on my bike and they are memories I will always cherish.Thankfully there were many photographers who did take pictures including Reg Button as well as photogragh collectors such as Paterson/George and authors like Ian Wilson who keep steam alive.I really wish I had some steam photographs to offer but I hope you enjoy these pictures as well
