Welcome to the RRPictureArchives.NET contributor site of Michael Schnitzius.  

Greetings,

 I recently resparked my interest in everything railroad. It started when I took my two year old nephew to a railroad crossing to watch the trains go by. Growing up my dad would take me to the nearest track to watch the trains. The only ones I can remember were Southern Pacific and or Cotton Belt. Sure wish my dad or I would have taken some pictures. But anyway, I wanted my nephew to take an interest in trains as well. Wrong!!! He was enthralled with the "DING DINGS". My hope is that some day soon he will realize that you can't have a "DING DING" without a "CHOO CHOO".
