Ben Sullivan's RR Photos & Journal

Ben Sullivan's Railroad & Industrial Photos & Journal

Welcome. I am in the process of revamping this site quite a bit, as I have more photos to add, missing photos that I've never got around to fixing and stuff that just doesn't belong! Thanks for visiting and enjoy!

I have traveled quite a bit in my day and shot a few photos of both railroad and industrial subjects. One of my true passions is the observation of worlds and times past. The presence of people and machines and the footprints they leave facinates me. I have gathered some of my work here together for you to enjoy. I am no expert, and there are undoubtably errors on this page. I welcome comments and corrections; please email me at cpl_clegg@yahoo.com

Some other RR pages I have to offer:

The Georgetown Branch - of the B&O RR, ran from the Silver Spring, MD area through Chevy Chase, Bethesda and on into Washington, DC where it terminated at the waterfront area of Georgetown.

The East Broad Top RR - Some shots of recent restoration work, the trains in action and some others from out on the line.

My model Railroad related projects : I am currently working on a model railroad in my basement depicting the Georgetown Branch of the B&O RR ca. 1947-50 or so. The line ran from Silver Spring, MD thru Chevy Chase and Bethesda, on into DC and down into Georgetown, DC. I am currently in the planning and room-prep stage. Check my Georgetown Branch website for more info!
