When I got out of the US Army, for whatever reason railroads and transportation economics appealed to me. Realizing education was a necessity for a voice I enrolled in classes at Cuyahoga County Community College. The interest as vocation was short lived but I still love to photograph trains.

Automobiles reshaped American society after World War 2.  The railroad lines between Pittsburgh and Detroit moved the raw materials for production of the automobiles and trucks that drove the American economy. While trucks and automobiles are now built in a number of other locations, there is still a Ford Plant in Lorain County that produces thousands of trucks for the nation.
