Moose River Crossing, a neat painting by artist Robert Frascella.

Hello Friends and Railfans:

I trust you are all well.  Trains, . . don't you love them?

It's February 2010!!  August, 2007.  That is the last time I updated this website and by some strange coincidence, the very same month I accepted a position as Director of the Cayuga Nature Center in Ithaca, New York.  It is a not-for-profit organization with a great need for everything.  It has consumed much of my life since then.  But, my first love will always be trains.

I still work there and I still have a deep responsibility to advance this organization but intend to do more "train"-ing.  I have over 20,000 colors slides and when I have a free moment, I scan them to create new digital images.  Some day I will share hundreds of old views not seen in decades including Lehigh Valley, Erie Lackawanna and more.

The old email address is live again.  Drop me a line at publicity@newyorkrailroads.com and I will add you to a new e-mailing list for occasional special emails, especially when something "neat" is happening.

Have a newsy event?  Send me notice and I will help spread the word.

Thanks!  Tom Trencansky, Dryden, NY [February 26, 2010]
