A Railroad Career in Photos and Stories

This slide show is a little different than others I've done in that I'm integrating photos, stories, and a little "how I did it". These are spread throughout my entire career. I hope you enjoy it!

Very interesting and well executed. I am just finishing up 30 years as an locomotive engineer with the BNSF and regret to say I probably took no more than a half dozen photos during that time. If I had it all to do over again, I think I would have taken pictures of people in offices...yardmasters, trainmasters, clerks, operators, dispatchers etc. Most of the the people, positions and locations are long gone.

I would have loved to get one of those old signals that got scrapped. Those things are cool

Hay Mark : Yes; there certainly ARE times when a picture and a brief background-story do give an outsider the equivalent of a description of a thousand words ! In having also given us some insight as to the necessary preparation required for your regular presentations; know that the appreciation is there. Lakka + Cheers / Johnny

Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Especially the drawing on your wall of the 3 Stooges. That, is all American.

Nice presentation Mark. Being originally from the valley I recognize a lot of those locations. Being an electrician for over 30 years I appreciate the kind of work involved. I also recognized the photo in the background of your intro as being of the loop. I have a copy of that myself that is in my shop/museum. Keep up the good work!

Enjoyed the slide show Mark. I have very few photos of any of the truck shops I worked over the years, but oh well. I like to think back on all the fellow employees I worked with, the good ones and the others.
It is quite an involved process to get one of these slide shows together.
Thanks for the effort and have a happy holiday.
