Steve Sloan's Trains : Trip Notes : 1975 : Thursday, November 27, 1975

< Previous | 1975 | Next >

On Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 27, 1975, the American Freedom Train traveled from Reno, NV to Sacramento, CA. I had just married my first wife a couple months before. I did not score many points with my new moter-in-law when she found out I was going to miss a lot of Thanksgiving Day with the family because I was going to be chasing a steam train.

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.

You may not use my photos for profit and/or as part of, or to sell, a product or service without my consent.

Special Thanks

All the great folks who helped me out with information for these Web pages!
