About Me
Well, maybe not. I have learned to be discrete about what I do and where I live. Suffice to say, I'm happily married and live in the San Francisco Bay area. I'm a die-hard SPF and have been for a long time, which can be slightly challenging given where I live. When I was very young and lived near Strasburg, PA, I found my dad's model of a GG1. I asked him about it, and he took me to meet Black Jack and Old Rivets. The love affair that started there is the only one my wife will ever have to worry about. (Except perhaps my penchant for a nice glass of Scotch.)

The rest of this page is dedicated to a list of sources for my railroading research. I hope to keep this a living document. Of course, there is also my list of "obligatories" which it seems one must have on a website.
