This shot was taken in the early 1970's, most likely by my mom of my dad taking a break while chasing one of the many Steamtown excursions. Behind my dad are two of Steamtown's ex-Canadian Pacific 1200-series Pacifics.

My dad's gone now. He passed away in January 2000 after a short illness. But in the 30 years we shared, he instilled a sense of fair play, that it's ok to be a nice guy and a love of trains.
