Mary and I had dinner with Jim Brandenberg in Mpls. during our 1989 
speaking tour stop. Quite a fellow...

Anyway, I've admired his photography for years. He started as a 
newspaper photog in Sleepy Eye, Minn., and he has been quoted many times 
saying something to the effect of "anybody can shoot great pictures in 
the mountains and at the seashore...shoot great pictures in the American 
flatlands and you are a great photographer..."

I have always felt that applied to rail photography as well.
