Welcome to the RRPictureArchives.NET contributor site of Dennis Andariese.  

I have been a rail fan as long as I can remember.  I do remember those beautiful Pacifics as commuter engines on the Erie.  Although I can find several drawings I did of engines (mostly on elementary school report card folders) I took no pictures until I was given an old Argus C4 in 1967, and the only one then was of a CP 'park' car at Jasper AB.  Along the way I took several slides in many locations.  It was not until this site, that I deliberatly began taking rail shots.  I must appologize for the scanning  quality of the slides, as my scanner leaves much to be desired.  I am a frequent visitor to Goderich, Ontario, as well as Jackson MI. These are good spots to capture pictures, as seemingly friendly to photographers as well.  My main location, however, is less than 100 ft. from my backdoor as I live at MP 82 on the old Wabash line from Detroit to Kansas City.  I would estimate that as many as 50 trains pass the house a day, although some are at night and I rarely hear them.  While I have a few good shots of trains in action, I am the proudest of the of the ones taken of sunsets along the rail line.  I hope you enjoy my efforts.  Dennis
