Narrow Gauge

Great Little Trains of Wales Ed Pick
The Great Little Trains of Wales are a very special way of seeing some of the best scenery in the British Isles. All are narrow gauge steam railways and some have a history spanning well over 100 years. All of them have in common the charm of old-time steam trains with plenty of polished paintwork and brass.

Built in a time less hasty than our own, most originally served to carry Welsh slate from the quarries to the sea. However, no two are the same and they all offer a unique experience of a bygone era.The special attraction of narrow gauge railways lies in their modest size compared with the main line ones and their leisurely speed gives time to take in some of the splendid scenery. Why not take a Virtual Tour of Wales and its narrow gauge railways.

SteamPhotos.com Ed Pick
Welcome to SteamPhotos.com!

Steam Railroad Photography by Christopher Muller. Although steam locomotives all but disappeared from regular service on North American railroads by 1960, there are approximately 300 operational steam engines in the U.S. today. Some operate daily at tourist railroads and theme parks. Others make less frequent appearances for private charters, holiday trains, community festivals, and corporate events.

A lifelong train enthusiast, my interest in railroad photography began in 2005. Today, I photograph unique railroad events and historic sites, documenting my travels here at SteamPhotos.com. Whether you're an historian, photographer, railfan, or travel enthusiast, I hope you enjoy the scenic beauty and historical significance of steam railroading as portrayed in these photos.

I offer a range of prints and calendars for purchase through this site. Profits are donated to organizations committed to historic railroad preservation including those listed below. High-resolution digital photos are also available for license. Please see the Prints & Gifts Page for details. A number of my photos presented here have appeared in books, magazines, newsletters, calendars, maps, timetables, advertising, video games, and murals.

Train Sights On Musings on Railroad Photography Ed Pick
Musings on railroad photography (and lots of wonderful photos) by Eric Williams.

I'm Eric Williams, a photographer who also happens to be a designer and creative director. I'm fascinated by railroads, whether they are active, historical or in our cultural imagination. This interest developed in my childhood, has been with me for as long as I can remember and it continues to be my favorite subject matter.

While most photographers of railroads take a documentative approach, I‘m interested in pursuing a subjective and emotional response and push the genre of railroad photography into the realm of fine art photography.

This blog explores my thoughts, observations and ideas on my journey to becoming a better photographer. Writing helps me clarify my thoughts and hopefully these will resonate with other photographers.

Illinois, Rochelle - Trains Webcam Pop Hot! Ed Pick
Rochelle, IL - Excellent railcam, and one of the originals, online for over 20 years. This is the most popular link in our entire directory!

In cooperation with the City of Rochelle, Illinois, we present the TRAINS Rochelle Webcam, where nearly a hundred trains may be seen in any 24-hour period. Our camera is mounted facing west at the Rochelle Railroad Park.

Union Pacific's former C&NW Chicago - Omaha main line is seen in the foreground on the right, while Burlington Northern Santa Fe's former BN Chicago - Twin Cities line is at left. Both double-track lines cross at the center of the picture.

Rochelle's Railroad Park was designed for railfans. The covered picnic pavilion -- directly underneath our camera -- features benches and picnic tables, speakers carrying BNSF and UP radio transmissions, and an up-close, engineer's eye-level view of passing trains. A gift shop features books, magazines, videos, railroadiana, film, snacks, and clean restrooms.
Streaming free on the Trains Website.
Note: While Trains claims the railcam is "exclusive", that no longer appears to be the case, as both Railstream and Virtual Railfan Live offer the same feed.

New Mexico, Chama - Depot Cam Friends of the C&TSRR Webcams Pop Hot! Ed Pick
Chama, NM - The remote mountain village of Chama, New Mexico is the western terminus of the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. Chama was once a Division Point on the Denver & Rio Grande Western's "San Juan Extension" that ran from Alamosa, Colorado through northern New Mexico to Durango, Colorado. Today, the segment between Chama and Antonito, Colorado has been preserved as the Cumbres & Toltec. This 65-mile-long museum traverses some of the most strikingly beautiful and isolated mountain wilderness on the planet. The railroad yard in Chama boasts the largest collection of Rio Grande railroad equipment in existence. There are usually five or six of the railroad's ten steam locomotives in the yard with one or two under steam.

The Depot camera offers an up-close-and-personal view of the equipment and century-old Rio Grande Depot. Tune in each morning for a spectacular Chama sunrise.

Entering Chama is like taking a step back in time to the 1950's when the railroad still operated as a common carrier. In fact, the D&RGW was the last Class I railroad in the country to run steam in regular service. The line was shut down in 1968, but was saved by a dedicated group of volunteers and the states of Colorado and New Mexico. Through decades of hard work and many close calls, the railroad has become one this country's premier historic properties.

District of Columbia - Smithsonian Institution Ed Pick
America on the Move highlights the Smithsonian's unparalleled and extremely popular transportation collections in new and creative ways. Using multimedia technology, immersive environments, and other theatrical techniques, America on the Move brings ships, trains, trucks, and automobiles back to life—or, more accurately, back to history. See these artifacts as they once were: moving people and products from place to place, a vital part of the nation's transportation system, a vital part of our business, social, and cultural history.

This major exhibition examines how transportation—from 1876 to 1999—has shaped our American identity from a mostly rural nation into a major economic power, forged a sense of national unity, delivered consumer abundance, and encouraged a degree of social and economic mobility unlike that of any other nation of the world.
