"I've been ridden trains over 50,000 miles and taken over 7,000 photos. I won first place and 10,000 dollars in a photo contest. I gave the money to my mom. I got internet famous. I deleted my website and stopped taking photos and went back to school and became a diesel mechanic. I quit being a diesel mechanic, but I learned how locomotives work. I started taking photos again. Paul introduced me to Jack. Jack's been making books for thirty years. Jack is publishing a book of my photographs. I don't want to be famous, but I hope this book is remembered forever" - Mike Brodie
