As promised, here is a complete set of links to the photos and videos I took on this week long trip. There are over 400 pictures taken over the seven days I was traveling. The video is probably close to 45 - 60 minutes, I would guess, maybe less.

Interesting thing is, never once on any train, in any station, or anywhere near trains did anyone question me about taking pictures. Only once was I told to stop. That was on the plane as we were about to land in IND. The flight attendant said the camera was electronic equipment and I had to turn it off as we landed. So I did. Never had that happen before on a plane.

The photo page has seven galleries available, just click on a picture to go to a particular set of pictures. In the upper right hand section of a picture page you can select several different ways to view the pictures. Slide Show is available.

Enjoy - and let me know of any questions or comments, please. I'm not up to Neil's standards, but I enjoy taking them. See if you can spot The University of Michigan Big House in the Flying Home pictures.
