Welcome to jlmrrphotos.com. This site has over 650 railroad photgraphs that I've made over the last 54 years. Several new images are added each week. The newest postings are placed in the Latest Images gallery. They are subsequently posted by railroad, or in the steam or electric galleries.

Last Updated: August 6,2008.

4/16/2008 The Image Size is being enlarged! Since I orginally started this site, the "average" monitor size has grown. As LCD monitors continue replacing CRT's the monitor landscape is becoming larger. So, I've decided to increase the size of my image postings from here on. I hope that you enjoy this change. If this causes any problems please contact me through the Feedback page. As time permits I will gradually increase the size of the existing images as well.

This site is commercial free for your enjoyment. High quality prints up to 40"x60" on archival paper or canvas are available (maximum size dependent on image quality) - contact me on the Feedback page. The Printer Information page describes the printer and media options. More specific ordering information will be posted in the future.

Thanks for your interest. Be sure and check back for new images. If you like the site, please tell your friends.
