Railway Photos by Ted Ellis and The unofficial Algoma Central Railway Home Page |
|
Here are some of my favorite railroad photos that I have taken over the years. I've made several different portfolios to make it easier to find pictures of interest to you.

The Yellow highlighted areas indicates where the newest photos and/or updates are. |
| Here you will find several pages of Algoma Central Railway Photos, including rosters of engines, cars, work equipment, stations and other photos. Updated May 10, 2007 with a new (old) black & white photo of a snow plow train...location and date unknown....can you help???!! More new items added June 30, 2007.....one B&W photo and a scan of the ACR's engine list. | |
|
This page has other Canadian photos, mainly from the western provinces, but also including a trip to Churchill and to the Quebec Cartier. One new photo added May 10, 2006. |
|
| The Railroads of Arizona! Here are photos of all known railroads here in Arizona, grouped by railroad. Updated May 31, 2007: 2 new photos of the Arizona Eastern Ry. | |
| I first started shooting Kodachrome in Upper Michigan as a teenager in 1964. Here are some of the better photos from then of the various railroads in Upper Michigan, Northern Wisconsin and a few other places. New! June 9, 2006: One US Air Force SAC training car #G54. | |
| Although I've never been a really big steam fan, I do enjoy getting them on film. | |
| Here are the photos of the ATSF 3751 NRHS Special on the Grand Canyon Ry. | |
| Here are a few newer photos from the past few months. | |
| I spent the first 2 weeks of July of 2001 in Upper Michigan and Northern Ontario to get the last of the ACR and WC before the CNR takeover. The weather was good for the most part, and it was the first time in 5 years that I had been to the ACR. | |
| 2002's railfan trip was a road trip of about 5800 miles around the western part of the US and Canada. We got the Utah, Rarus/MTW, BNSF, CPR, MRL, BCR and various other railroads. Photos from this trip are posted in 3 sections - enjoy eh! Finished posting all photos Aug. 20, 2002. | |
| 2003's trip was a 2 1/2 week road and flying trip, with the main objective getting as much of the Ontario Northland Railway as possible before any merger. While the weather basically sucked for the most part (!!), we did get some nice ONR photos, as well as other soon to be retired equipment. | |
| Last year's railfan trip was to the National Train Show in Seattle, Washington, with a week before and after the train show for foaming! I got some good shots of the Utah, BNSF, Montana Rail Link, and the Black Mesa & Lake Powell RR's. | |
| This year's railfanning expedition was to drive to the National Train Show in Cincinnati, while burning a lot of film on the way there and back, as well as stopping at various hobby shops. | |
| Blades! Here are 19 photos from a trip to the Carrizozo, New Mexico area on the ex Espee line that at that time still had *real* semaphores (as in lower quadrant) in service! These semaphores have now been replaced by tri-lights, so I feel lucky to have been able to get some photos of them! | |
| Here are some photos taken while on a business trip to the Grants Pass/Medford area in July of 1995. While I didn't get as many shots of the semaphores as I would have liked to, at least I got a chance to see a couple of new (to me) railroads. | |
| Some more oldies have recently surfaced and are now scanned and posted for your enjoyment. This were taken in the mid to late '60's in the Chicago area back when I was a teenager. | |
| Seeing as how I have been going through my old slides with the above subject, I also found a bunch of slides taken on a trip to the Minneapolis/St. Paul Minnesota area in November of 1966. The second section is photos of my July 1970 trip to the area. | |
| More Blades! Here are photos from a June of 2000 trip to the Raton, New Mexico area. While there are not a whole lot of trains running in this area, the Santa Fe semaphores are quite accessible and make for a great photo. These semaphores are also being replaced at this time, so get your photos now! | |
| Here are some photos of my various efforts at HO modeling in the past 40 (!) years. La Spike d'Or!! Finally! After more than 22 years of last having an operating "real" layout, I drove the Golden Spike on Saturday September 18, 2004. Of course, there is still a lot of work ahead, but at least now I can run trains continuously as well as point to point. The first 5 photos of the newly completed track work are now posted. New June 18, 2005 - 6 new photos of the ore dock and 130 foot turntable. | |
| Not all of my photos are of railroads! Here are some of my other photos that are a little bit different, or ones that I just happen to like. NOW! The photos of Michigan Tech and the Copper Country have been moved to here: http://members.cox.net/ted-ellis. | |
| And here are some links to other sites, odds and ends, and a little bit about myself :). |
I hope you enjoy these photos! You can send me e-mail at Desert-Rails@cox.net with any comments, flames, ideas, etc. - I'd like to hear from you. This is my first effort at building and publishing a web page. Thanks also to Henry at Railfan.Net for all of his help, patience, etc. with helping me getting this all together!
