Photographer's Railroad Page
My uncle Kevin Scanlon is one of the railroad junkie photographers behind this site.
One of my earliest memories of my uncle, whom I love very much, is through his photographs -- haunting images of historic railways and elegant old trains throughout Appalachia and Pennsylvania. Documenting these endangered machine beings is his lifelong passion, so he's launched a gallery with words and images on this subject from various shooters.
Uncle Kev sez: "I've been trying to encourage photographers to do a little writing to give a backstory on their images. So far I've had a pretty good response from a wide range of people. Make sure you check out the Archive page for M. Ross Valentine's and Mel Patrick's photos, my favorites so far."
