Western Railroad Discussion > Hello, from Bakersfield

Hello, im new to this forum. Im 16 years old and have been a foamer all my life. Railroad runs in my blood, 4 generations before me. My father is a conductor for Amtrak on the Coast Starlight out of Sacramento, i work with him on my summer and winter breaks up to Klamath Falls. My grandpa, great-grandpa and great-great grandpa all worked for the Santa Fe out of Needles and Seligman. I plan to continue this tradition when I get older, to make 5 generations. Ive photographed trains for the past few years and have a website with many of my photos, you can see it at www.jkchubbes.com it is still under a bit of work but I will always be adding photographs. Well if youd like to know more you can get ahold of me by E-Mail.

Welcome aboard kid and enjoy the ride.

Thanks, but I dont think i'm near Alex. I know him and have seen just about all of his work and I think I have a long ways away. Infact i get most of my tips from him, he is a great photographer.

Great photos! and thanks for posting the amtrak consist info.
