Now that Flickr has screwed around and changed the Profile page to this, I suppose it's time to update what used to be my profile and tell you "about" me. I'm a retired train dispatcher with over thirty years of service. I've worked for the B&O, Chessie System, NS, Soo Line, and CSX. I sat down one time and figured out that I have dispatched trains in twelve states, pretty much all of the midwest and Pennsylvania and New York. It's been "fun," but I'm glad it's over while I still have a brain left, though my wife thinks otherwise. You'll see a lot of lighthouses on my stream, but being a railroader, trains are my passion. You'll also see a lot of old scanned slides, mostly Kodachrome and Velvia. I was late to the digital age, getting my first DSLR in 2012. I never thought I would like the new fangled stuff, but I sure do regret not changing sooner.
