About Me

Railien Trails Transportation Blog
A wholehearted welcome to my new media feature, a blog on transportation issues at large. If it's about trains, planes, autos or anything that moves - I'll write about it here. A transportation photojournalist since 1993, I’ve contributed to the information world in print (magazines and newspapers) and electronic media (TV reporter and interviewee, radio and websites). One of my prideful events was during the 2004 NYC Subway Centennial. I was interviewed in 2 languages (English/Italian) that was viewed and heard worldwide. I was one of two transportation historians sanctioned to speak ‘on camera’ for the year-long series of events. My TV credits include: Telly Award finalist (11-minute documentary on the last days of mainline steam trains in the world in China); NY Emmy Award nominee for news magazine story of the 75th anniversary of NY’s IND subway. All in addition to the many published photographs (including several magazine and newspaper covers) and articles. Thanks for stopping by for a trip into my new world. Oh yeah, please stand clear of the closing doors and have a one-seat on my train!!!
