About MDRails

MDRails is atypical when it comes to railroad photography in that 2 out of the 3
people responsible for the effort are women, odder still, one of them is an
octogenarian. Preferring to remain anonymous, we will refer to her as "mom." Mom's
own mother was a pioneering photographer with a career that stretched from 1914 to
1955. We mean "pioneering photographer" literally as she grew up in a family of
western homesteaders and documented the last great settlement of soddies in the
Southwestern United States under the Homestead Act. Mom assisted her mother in
the 50's and now lends this new generation a helping hand. Ever curious, unflagging,
and determined, she keeps us going when the chips are down. Mom has enjoyed
trains since 1937, the year she first saw the Belen Doodlebug.

MDRails also consists of the mysterious KC, a professional photographer, college lab
instructor, and fine art printer of long standing. KC has jumped into the new world of
digital imaging with MDRails as her proving ground. We wish her the best of luck and
hope she's with us for a long while, especially since she always remembers to bring lots of
cold (NA) beverages along!

Our last member, a man called mu, aka MDRails, is a hapless Eyeore of a soul,
often sanctimonious and always impatient, he's lucky if one in one thousand of
his pictures turns out. His motto, "Walk softly and carry a big memory card."
