- New York Central E8A 4080, sits at the Medina RR Museum with sister 4068. Otto and I waited at Medina, NY until the sun started going down on Friday, October 7, 2011. We were hoping D-L ALCo RS32 2035 would go past the EMDs and the old New York Central freight depot on the other side of the tracks. The light would have been perfect. But, the train tied up east of there and the crew went home to Batavia.

NOTE: If anything is my "life's work" it's my train photos. — If you scan an analog photo of mine, or if you share a digital photo I took that does not have my photo credit, add something like "Photo by Steve Sloan" directly onto the image. It's not enough to say "Photo by Steve Sloan" in the text caption. People download photos off the Internet/Social Media platform and whatever is in the text does not stick to the photo. Then, they get reshared and that data is lost. I deserve credit for my work.
