  1. That's My Boy!

    That's My Boy!

    He turned one this week. He cut his first tooth on his birthday. He likes his plush puppy. He likes his mom, dad, brothers and chasing the cat. When he hears the train coming, he crawls at his fastest and stands at the storm door to watch them roll by. With hands pressed to the glass and baby...

  2. Navigational Aid

    Navigational Aid

    Some times the lack of trains almost make up for it in the shot... almost that is. On the day before of the Port Huron to Mackinaw Yacht Race (There was an Austrailian boat in it) many of the boats in the race are lashed and docked in the Black River in Downtown Port Huron. As I took the shot I...

    Black River Bridge

    Check Your Mirror...

    Hometown Depot

    Everyone has a "HomeTown", hopefully it still has a depot, and they are always special. Where is yours? Here's mine in April 1989. It still looks the same, It was bulit in 1874 by the Michigan Central Railroad, and is now Amtrak's second oldest station in the USA. -M. Ross Valentine
