Beginning with the February 2017 issue (expected toward the end of December), I\u2019ll be featured in a regular opinion column for Trains Magazine<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This is a new and exciting opportunity for me. With it I hope to explore a range of topics over the coming months<\/p>\n

The idea for a regular Brian Solomon column came about as result of my conversations with Editor Jim Wrinn and Assistant Editor Brian Schmidt who were intrigued by my comparisons between European and North American railroading.<\/p>\n

Unlike Tracking the Light, which is focused largely on photography, my Trains<\/em> columns will be aimed at the railroad industry, its operations and practices.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be writing narratives that draw from my knowledge of history and technology. My hope to is to both entertain and inform, while also offering unusual perspectives on railroads.<\/p>\n

\"I've
I’ve been contributing to Trains Magazine since 1984. My first published photo in Trains had featured this Mass Bay RRE excursion (that had operated from Boston to Brattleboro, Vermont on February 25, 1984). The photo that appeared in the magazine was an angle of the Amtrak F40PHs on the south end of the train in the Brattleboro yard; by contrast these views were of the train shortly after it arrived at Brattleboro station. All were exposed using my old Leica 3A with 50mm Summitar.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Although
Although it was sunny at New London, by the time we’d reached Brattleboro it was raining very hard. I got soaked making my photographs. At the time I was senior at Monson Jr.-Sr High School, and David P. Morgan was still Trains Editor-in-Chief. Ironically, the original negative that was published in Trains, remains among my missing photographs. Hopefully it may\u00a0resurface one of these days. This pair of images were from my ‘out-takes’, and I\u00a0only recently rediscovered them.\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
