My grandson and the engineer exchange waves
Title:  My grandson and the engineer exchange waves
Description:  Not in the "best" photo category, but this one scores high in the "favorite" group of 2015 photos. There's something universal and magical about little boys waving up at locomotive engineers, and getting a wave back. This could have been me when I was four years old!

NKP 765 through the Lehigh Gap
Title:  NKP 765 through the Lehigh Gap
