Train Graphic

The three car DE30 hauled train set in our header was put together using "train gif's" created by a talented young man, Alex Stroshane. Alex was generous enough to grant us permission to use some of his fabulous artwork for our web site. If you would like to see more of Alex's artwork you can visit his site Amtrak Prototype & Model. But be forewarned you may end up spending hours surfing his site.
