Back in the 1990s, Pentrax Publishing\u2019s Paul Hammond and I focused on the East Troy Electric for an article in Locomotive & Railway Preservation magazine. At the time I was the Editor of Pacific RailNews, and he of L&RP.<\/p>\n

We worked with the railway to produce some unusual and compelling photographs, including a high-impact view of one of their electric locomotives in motion that was used as the cover of the magazine.<\/p>\n

For that effort, California-based railway photographic legend Richard Steinheimer paid me a personal compliment.<\/p>\n

It was the first time I\u2019d made digital images of this colorful Wisconsin preserved railway. I\u2019ve included a selection below.<\/p>\n
