Welcome to the RRPictureArchives.NET contributor site of Gary Everhart.  

Welcome to my railroad photo albums page. Luckily I live in northwest Indiana with its rich diversity of trains and near enough to Chicago to take advantage of their railroading action as well. Now retired, I have the freedom and time to follow my amateur photography avocation.

My albums are an eclectic collection of railroad related shots. I enjoy all aspects of railroading  - motive power, freight cars, fallen flags, buildings, maintenance, ROW, commuters, and museums. Since I am a Hoosier through and through, anything connected to Indiana holds a special place.

Lately I have been driven to scan and post older railroad photos that I purchase on-line, at train shows and antique stores. Although b&w photos are much more stable than the more recent color ones, they are still prone to degradation, hence the urgency in salvaging the images before they are lost. I try to give credit to the photographers when listed and relate as much information about the locomotive as I can find. If you notice a discrepancy or can help identify those without a known location, it would be appreciated.

To make it easier to find a locomotive for a particular line, I'm slowly trying to consolidate the albums by the railroad like the B&O and the Reading albums which were started earlier. These albums are all found at the end of my album pages. Now the task is to move the photos from individual albums! Please browse my albums via the menu located here. I would enjoy your comments, thoughts and especially your corrections to the photos I’ve posted. I am here to learn as well as to share my photos.

My wife loves to travel and is very understanding about including a visit to a railroad spot so please help me here. If you know of particularly good locations to view trains anywhere in the nation, let me know. That way I can make her happy while I take some more railroad photos!

You may browse my collection of pictures via the menu located on the left hand side of the page.  I hope you enjoy the collection and thanks for stopping by!
