70yr old retired truck driver from San Jose--born and raised here and grew up a little over a block from the SP Newhall Yard. I worked for OneWorkplace (aka Cutis Lindsay, Inc, Lindsay's, Lindsay Ferrari) from 1966 until 2002 when I was forced to stop working due to serious back problems.

I remaind an employee until December 31st, 2006 when I rsigned. I am a devotee of the Southern Pacific and just about anything else that runs on rails with the exception of a railroad based in Omahaha. Traction has always fascinated me and it was once said I never met a PCC I didn't like. As kind of hobby side bars I am into guns, especially WWII military stuff and also into 4-wheeling but my back has limited those of late.

I am married and have been for over 39 years, 2 grown kids, 2 grandsons.

The other great love of my life is my cat Chessie---someone at work once bitched that "...Drew treats cats better than he treats most people." Yep, guilty as charged.

Please note---ALL my photos are now copyright restricted. If you want to use a photo, I will consider on a case by case basis. Violation of my copyright will result in punitive action.

Starting August 25, 2016, I am adding mote photos but some may be duplicates if older posts, I just can't go back and check everything.
