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

Focused mainly on British Columbia and Ontario, Washington and Oregon states but 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).

Posting pictures of my train travels, past and present. 
There could (or will) be some cross-postings from (and on) #Twitter/X @AndreasWiede, #Bluesky @andreaswiedenhoff@bsky.social, #Threads (and, occasionally, #Instagram) andreas_wiedenhoff
