Train Travel Writing and Photography

Since this blog covers text and image (probably the only one that does), there's no better way to combine that two than writing an article and finding an image that goes with it. When my pschye focuses upon myself--not always the best of mental states--I drift into the self-centered task of Googling my name.

Often I find things that surprise me. A few years ago (2002) I had written an article for Utne magazine about train travel. Today as I glanced upon my first page of the Googling task,as I found a link to Utne Web Special Archives page. In the middle of those listings is the article, Is Train Travel History?

Seems as if most of the articles I wrote are still floating around the Internet, getting millions of hits.

Wish I had a dollar for each time somebody read one of them!

But I don't. What I do have is a collection of train images that I love, so at the very least I can post one with this article, an image that's all mine.
