commuter

In July and August of 2012 I spent two weeks in South Africa with a Christian Men's Chorus. As one of the official photographers for the trip I was able to take over 4000 photos. Some of them were, naturally, of South African trains. I will share them here over the next few weeks or months as...

Metra train heading towards West captured at Naperville, Illinois.

In an effort to make it trackside more often, I took a little time after work to drive over to the MARC station in Odenton to watch as commuters headed home for the day. Shortly after I arrived, a southbound 641 made its way into the station led by cab car #7849. MARC 641 by...

Most common piece of RR equipement in Toronto. Note the MOW machine in the top right corner. Photo taken from the CN tower. I tried the same with an inbound ONR train, but missed the power.

During my short (10 min.) railfanning time at Toronto's Union station I managed to catch three GO commuter trains like this one, and got sight of the ONR Northlander before he hid inside the station. Needless to say I quickly became bored with them, you only need to see two trains before the...
