I've uploaded a number of my own photos to the site in order to illustrate articles that I've started or worked on. All of the images on this page are images that I created. With the exception of the maps, they are all photos that I took while on various railfanning/museum trips around the US. Check the detail page for the maps for information on how each of them was created.
