I had a chance to get out for a few hours in my backyard and got to enjoy a beautiful cloudless March day.

An afternoon in Indianapolis
Work recently took me to Indianapolis and my flight schedule meant I had a few hours to see the local sights. I saw quite a bit.
CSX in Hagerstown, February of 2019
It’s been a slow few months railfanning wise, but I recently got a chance to get out and grab some CSX action around a snowy Hagerstown.
Cresson, Gallitzin and Altoona. August of 2018.
The N Scale Weekend in Altoona is a great event and a good reason to head out to the east coast railfan Mecca. This weekend was also a good chance to play with my new Rebel T7i and try out its low light capabilities.
Half a GE 44 Tonner in Portland Maine
I just found this photo I took from four years ago (yikes!) of one of the weirdest diesels I’ve ever seen.
Quick Grab at Enola
I had some business up in Harrisburg which involved giving my dad a quick tour of the area. Of course we had to swing by The Iron Bridge.
April 2018 Lehigh Valley Branchlines
This spring brought a second trip to the Lehigh Valley. This time was focused on chasing the Cement Local and meeting a legend. Lunch with “Big Mike” Bednar was clearly the high point, but as far as this blog goes, there were no real photos of that.
CSX in Delco, Easter 2018
I was up visiting my family just outside Philly for easter when CSX dropped by.
“Spring” 2018 Trip to Strasburg, The Lehigh Valley, and the Reading & Northern
This year’s big spring railfanning trip included a ride on the Lancaster Oxford & Southern motor car, a tour of the Lehigh Valley and some time at the heart of the R&N.
A Sunday on the Strasburg, July 2017
The Strasburg Rail Road is a national treasure, and every once in a while I must go there to “center myself”. Maybe it’s because I went a lot when I was a kid, but it’s always loomed large in my mind of what a railroad is and should be. I recently made a pilgrimage, and while my photographic and video output wasn’t as amazing as I’d have wanted, I like to think it’s worth checking out.
