I'm an Admissions Counselor, working at the University of Minnesota, Morris. I'm a 2003 graduate from UMM and have worked in the Admissions Office since my graduation. I grew up and went to High School in Mound, MN. Mound is a suburb of Minneapolis of about 10,000 people.

I am often asked, why do you like trains so much? While there is really no good reason to give them, nor can it be explained, trains and railroading in general has always been a fascination of mine. I look at it as a clean, healthy hobby, and one that doesn't take up too much money. You only need to buy a good camera, like my new Canon Powershot S3 IS, and with it being digital, I never have to buy film. It's an older camera, but there's more to taking good pictures than having the best camera.

Thanks for taking a few minutes to explore the trains and to get to know a bit more about me. I'll keep the photos coming as long as trains keep their part in my life, which should be kind of a given... If you like what you see, I'd appreciate the feedback!
