My brother Richard, my sister Debbie, and Missabe 178, an SD18 (yeah, only a railfan cares). Missabe Railroad Historical Society convention tour, 8/8/1987; Proctor, Minnesota. Photo taken with a Minolta Point-n-Shoot and scanned from a negative.

"Covered Wagons," the railfans call 'em. At Erie Mining Company, Hoyt Lakes, Minnesota. Photo taken 8/5/2006 during a Missabe Railroad Historical Society convention tour.

An Alco RS3 at LS&I's Eagle Mills yard, in August of 1989. Photo taken during a tour with the DSS&A SIG of the Soo Line Historical and Technical Society. Scanned from a slide.

And my brother, Richard. Proctor's up the hill from Duluth. Photo taken 8/8/1987 during the Missabe Railroad Historical Society's annual convention. Scanned from a negative. I sometimes call myself a "recovering railfan." The reason most of my rail photographs are old is that I stopped chasing trains in the early 1990s.

Depends which locomotive you read.... At Sleepy Eye, Minnesota; photo taken 6/5/2007.

This Wisconsin Central SDL-39 was working around the Marquette-Negaunee-Ishpeming area during my 1990 vacation at Van Riper State Park in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I saw it several times over the course of the week as I explored Marquette County The Soo Line slapped the ugly "Blackbeard" paint job on the locomotives it acquired with the bankrupt Milwaukee Road in the mid-80s, then passed this one along to WC when it spun off its Lake States Division trackage (approximately the earlier, original Wisconsin Central) a couple years later. Eventually 585 got a proper WC paint job . Photo scanned from a slide.

Photo taken 8/4/1990 at a Missabe Railroad Historical Society convention. Two Harbors, Minnesota.

We were eating breakfast at Freighters Restaurant in Port Huron when this train wandered by. Since I don't recall ever seeing a train on this line before, I hurried to the window and snapped this photo. The camera was set up for a very different photo, and that shows. Nonetheless, I really like this pic.

A couple Dash-8 40CWs pulling a train of mostly tank cars around the Marysville (Michigan) power plant. We'd been following it down the road when it crossed over and blocked the way. We waited, of course. 7913 & 7768 are the numbers on the locomotives. I regard myself as a recovering railfan, an affliction I consider an addiction.
