About this ebook
Explore the railroad right of way as it passes through scenes and landscapes from the Pacific Northwest, along with some excursions into neighboring states. Enjoy over sixty full-color photographs along the journey through all types of weather.
Major railroads represented in this work include the big Class I Burlington Northern - Santa Fe ( BNSF ) and the Union Pacific ( UP ) down to local flavor Columbia Basin Railway ( CBRW ) and others.
Spend some extra time in Vancouver, Washington and Connell, Washington for more in-depth images appreciating the local flavor to a fuller degree.
Sunrise to sunset, rain and shine, the freight continues to move through the photographed seasons.
So grab a copy, settle down behind the dropping gates, and savor the "Long - Long - Short . Long -" sound of an approaching train.

The short of it: over-educated, unemployed, and annoying with a camera. Quite possibly a dangerous combination.The long of it:I've been snapping pictures for over a quarter-of-a-century on equipment ranging from a Pentax k1000 to Canon SX700hs - but nothing fancier. In fact, after they retired my Kodachrome 64 film, I hung up the 'real cameras' and settled for "digital pocket snappers." It seems ninety percent of the challenge to taking pictures is to remember your camera (would seem obvious, wouldn't it? But look around at the folks with large, fancy cameras - no wonder they claim the phone-based lens will be the death of real photography). So I do my part and pack it almost everywhere.I was a latecomer to photography, though, so I had time to grow up in many different parts of the country with my formative stage in the South, but junior high and onward in the Pacific Northwest. The last set of initials after my name tacked on by the Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine - making the 'highest degree attained' line of the survey read Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.I still live in the state of Washington with my lovely wife of over two decades who continues to be an invaluable accomplice. For any hazard I manage to avoid, our son does his best to ensure we'll see an early grave.Having spent a little time teaching, I've grown to miss a captive audience to inflict my photography upon, so thank you Smashwords for providing me a forum for dispersing my imagery pain to be loosed upon the world.

Special thanks to the many good people on the newsgroup alt.binaries.pictures.rail where I've spent many an hour enjoying fine railroad photography and learning the ropes of conservative rail fanning. An additional thank you to the folks on rrpicturearchives.net - an amazing resource for the rail fan and railroad buff alike. I hope my contributions have made a small installment to repaying the amount of gratitude owned.
And last, but probably most, a warm thank you to my ever-understanding better-half for putting up with my hobby. I'm pretty sure she's just joking when she asks, Why can't you drink and chase women like other men?
Lots of love to my wonderful wife, Cheryl.
