I thank the host here for the space. I slowly hope to construct a site here. I create from 'scratch' so its sloooow.

I hope to put up a bunch of pictures taken the last few decades and other misc. information...mostly about ex-rail lines...

My hobby has been traveling and snapping photo's of abandoned lines.

I seem to be having a terrible time with photo's..maps...or whatever.... If its a scan....needs to be cropped....nice to watermark it one way or another....reduce the jpg size for the web....(I try to get them under 50k but especially with detailed maps like topo the 'detail' needed might be lost.) I seem to end up with these things all mixed up and 'who knows where'. So if any photo's on this site STINK a project is to re-upload something of better quality if possible at a later date. Don't they say every time you edit a jpg quality is lost? (don't know) Gif format? Good for small maps but larger things seems not the preferred format. This stuff is a whole science in itself.---and time consuming....eeeks---I think I figured out part of my problem. I have been using web-based photo places to play with photo's. It seems every time I go back to such things look worse all the time. The game here? If you buy prints,etc. you can get higher resolution.

For now try the below site..click on link...

We have been collecting photocopies of 'things' for many years. If any of such is reproduced here copyright? I have no idea 20 years later. Again this site is non-commercial non-profit and the only interest we would even have in it is we enjoy railroads and railroad history....not arguments about copyright....AGAIN !!!! I have been taking photocopies of material for decades. This was quite normal behavior up to internet days. Now we have everybody screaming copyright and acting like lawyers when often claims have no foundation. FAIR USE? Some hate to hear it and re-write the law. I have no idea many sources decades later. If anything on this site has a copyright objection just say so !!!!
