Completely Vain - My site about Trains, pt 2
For those (two) of you who asked, I have begun posting my train photos at http://www.delmarvatrains.com/galleries/

By the end of the summer, I intend to have a gallery of every train station within 100 miles of here. Old or new, I will photograph them all. My son (4 yrs old) is the real train fanatic in the family. I have no idea if anyone outside my house will care or even notice, once we are done. But I know at least two of us who are having the time of our lives.

1. When I look at the delmarva website, which photo(s) are yours?
Edited on Wed Apr-18-07 03:29 AM by marzipanni
Or is it too obvious, and/or I'm too tired?
I see one with a cute little boy, is he your son?

Good train shots - that little train is kinda cute, and I generally hate using the word cute.

Are those first two links the only pictures that you've taken?

13. If you head up this way there are a couple more
Gaithersburg and Ellicot city would be worth stops also. The Ellicot City station is the oldest one in America and ght G'burg station is still in use for the MARC commuter train.
Check this guys photos
