Welcome to my new web page!  For those of you have are familiar with my work, this is the latest reincarnation of my work to photographically preserve the history of the wig-wag.  In the past I had hosted this site on my ISP's server; however having this site on trainweb.org should hopefully improve traffic flow; plus hopefully this site has a considerably better design.  I've been trying to find a good mix of frames; however keep a simple yet professional image.  I hope this is it.  As you can tell, I am not a professional web page designer; nor do I plan on becoming one anytime soon.  (I already am stressed out enough in my job as a trainer for a large computer technical support firm; I don't need any MORE computer knowledge.)

You may or may not know, but in launching this site, I am also in a new challenge:  Keeping up with the wig-wag developments from over 600 miles away.  It was much simpler while I was living in Beaverton to keep up - the furthest wig-wag was a two hour drive away at most.  I'm now maintaining this site from my new home in Kalispell, Montana.  I can assure you that there are no wig-wags anywhere in the area (however I do enjoy being close to the BNSF northern mainline between Sandpoint, Idaho and Marias Pass, Montana).  There are enough pictures and web pages of modern BNSF power (and BN SD40-2s, GP38-2s, and GP39Ms) that I'll stick to documenting Oregon's final wig-wags.  Hopefully I will have some help in this category as well.
