Dave Cramer of
http://trainsite.8m.com/ rrslides.html is a genius for making them so available at such a great price. (Actually Dave was already a genius now that I think of it. He’s been my “go-to” guy for hard-to- find track charts, employee timetables, and more for well over a decade now, but that’s a different story!) When you enter
http://trainsite.8m.com/ rrslides.html you will see an index page listing a wide variety of midwestern railroad motive power, cabooses, rolling stock, depots, towers, and assorted lineside scenes. What exactly is listed for sale here, you say?
How about 17 pages of Burlington Northern slides, 51 pages of Chicago & North Western slides and 12 pages of Rock Island stuff? And all at $.30 a slide burned to the CD or DVD (and format) of your choice. Mix, match, and browse to your heart’s content. Now be forewarned — you can easily
WELCOME ABOARD… the entire Amtrak fleet

spend two or three hours browsing and walk out with a DVD full of over 150 slides you just ordered. Ask me how I know... Vern Brummel evidently never took a bad photo, or at least any bad ones that ever saw the light of day. Thankfully, Dave Cramer took the time to showcase some of his best work and make it available for a very reasonable price. Want to see C&NW E and F units pulling bi- level coaches on the long-abandoned line to Williams Bay, Wis.? How about Milwaukee Road SW1s on a branchline patrol in deepest rural Wisconsin? Or the interlocking tower that guarded the Chicago Great Western/ Rock Island diamond in Clarion, Iowa? No problem and plenty more where those came from. You can even buy color prints (up to 5"x7" in size) or perhaps a photo CD loaded with shots of C&NW commuter trains, branchlines and the “Alco Line.” The further you browse this site, the more good stuff you will find to buy. Dave Cramer has developed a simple,
yet highly effective, way to take the rest of my loose change by getting me addicted to ordering these Vern Brummel slides on DVD over and over again. If you are looking for a source of crystal
clear, razor sharp, top quality railroad images that you can view on your computer or TV, print out, or just plain drool over, this is the online store for you. Here’s to Vern Brummel and Dave Cramer, and finer men you will never hope to meet. I can’t wait until Dave adds even more railroads to the list (hint: think Southern and ICG for starters...). — FRANK GARON
