Tom is a friend and I've been fortunate to see a lot of his NG photos already. This is a welcome addition and a wonderful collection from a consummate professional. Tom really knows trains and how to capture the mood really well. Some of his photos of the D&RGW NG are like beautiful pieces of art!! Glad to know his work is being immortalized.
