Saturday, March 25, 2023
A day of my trip to Winterail 2023. After I dropped Susie off at SeaTac the day before I was on my own. I spent the afternoon of the 24th and the morning of the 25th at the Vancouver, WA train depot area. Then, on the afternoon of the 25th I went to my friend in Eugene's house via Portland and the Oregon Rail Heritage Center.

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!
