I've also been feeling a little nostalgic as well. Here are some shots from the 1980's, when I owned a Pentax K-1000, gas was $1 a gallon, and I didn't have gray hair...well, a little at the temples. Oh, yeah, I snuck one or two in from the 90's and the current decade.
Here's the Cumberland roundhouse on a soft summer evening in 1986.
Cutting in the mid-train helpers at Q Tower, Hyndman, Pa in 1985.
Trailer train R-137 flying west at Long's Crossing, WV in 1991.
R-353 with 8 headend units at Locust Grove (just west of Cumberland) in 1989.
The Chicago Jet making a run at Sand Patch Grade at Q Tower, in 1986.
Coal train V-153 in Cumberland at Viaduct Jct. in 1989.

From in side a caboose, looking out. VA Museum of Transportation, in 2005.
I photograph many other things: landscapes, barns, horses, my kids, the dog...you get the idea. But there is just something about a train...always was, always will be.
