Evolution of a fan. Railroading 101 courtesy of a bridge
Author: Roadjob

Yesterday's thread showed how one gets hooked on the lore of railroading, and the human element that makes the trains go. Today, we'll look at just a sampling of what went under my Sisson Street bridge perch, and why the B&O was my everything rail wise for over 3 years. It wasn't scenic, and it wasn't always the safest place, but it was my world.

Wonderful!  I especially like the B&W winter photos. There's just something about a overcast snowy day with a workaday train going about its business that evokes a feeling of accomplishment.

Really NICE and interesting series! I grew up the same way as you, just a different railroad. Mine was SP. Started riding trains at a young age and as I got older was taught railroading by my uncle, those were great times, which helped me in my rail career.

The song is Awaken the Dawn, beautifully played here by Stanton Lanier. It's an old hymn composed by Stuart Garrard.
