Mike took photos of trains for many years, and was very happy to have place to share them with every one. The photos on this site cover over 70+ years of trains and train service, and most are from the 1950's to 2009. The SP&S steam go back to the 1930's. This site is just a small part of the history of railroading in the great Northwest.
Mike wrote these words of thanks to those who helped build this site: We have photos from other people mostly from the Rolland Rodway collection, and Jack Taylor collection. I have scanned over 800 photos of Rolland's and have put many of them on these pages. I would also like to thank Darrell Sawyer and Mark Magill for helping me get my web site started, and keeping it going . I would also like to thank Brian Ambrose for his great shot form the state of Washington." He was also thankful to Alex Stroshane of Amtrack Prototype & Model for the animated train GIFS on this site, saying "He has a GIF for 98% of what Amtrack has run over the years, including freight trains, too."
For those of you out there, that believe in a higher power,
Mike invited everyone to check out this site. Higher Power
