Railpast Junction - Chasing History & Railfanning for Fun

WELCOME

This page is a collection of my photos and trips chasing trains in Canada and the USA. I also traced and either walked or rode my bike on most of the abandoned railway lines in Grey and Bruce Counties. I enjoy chasing and photographing trains. I hope you find something that interest you. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to use any of the material on this site. Your comments welcome.

Thanks for dropping in. Walter E Pfefferle aka Railpast
