My First Published Article

I'm proud to announce that my first article in print has been published in the March-April 2016 issue of Branchline magazine!

The cover photo is mine as well, showing a trio of Stewart Southern locomotives.

The article is about the Stewart Southern Railway in Saskatchewan and is based on my series on that railway. I took the series, added some more details and basically rewrote it for the magazine. They took it and did some great editing before publishing it.

Thank you very much to Branchline for publishing it! I hope to have my second article published sometime this summer or fall; it's being edited now. I have the topic for my third article and I'll start writing that soon.

You can find Branchline magazine at your local hobby store, or you can subscribe online.

I must say, it's a thrill to see your words in print!

Branchline and Canadian Rail

I was pleased that I was asked to provide a photo of CP 4563 for Branchline, Canada's Rail News Magazine. It ran in last month's Branchline, together with great photos by fellow Maritimers Bill Linley and David Othen.

It was this photo, by the way:


Canadian Rail, the magazine of the national CRHA, just ran the same photo, unfortunately without attribution. I was happy to see it there! :)

OK, enough tooting my own horn. ;)

By the way, if you are a Canadian railfan and you don't subscribe to Branchline, why NOT?? It is an excellent source of news specific to Canada. Go here to subscribe!
