Hello, my name's Allen. I'm here to share my various train photos, news, and advocacy.

Focused mainly on British Columbia, Ontario and the PNW, sometimes I will post a couple other adventures from where I've gone!

My original photos may be used under the terms of the CC-BY-SA-4.0 license. Feel free to send a message for other uses or any questions. I can speak and write terrible-quality French (français) and mediocre Japanese (日本語).
