Szwajkart Books and videos

If you like trains then you have come to the right place. I have been photographing trains since the mid '50's and this has resulted in a rather large collection of slides and photos. Shortly after I began shooting slides, I started taking 8mm movies. My hope was to capture a bit of the essence of regular steam operation before it was all gone. (And if you have seen some of the vintage material you are happy that it has been preserved.) Once steam was essentially gone, I stopped shooting. Later I realized this was a mistake and in the mid '80's began to shoot video, which I have continued to do, going from vhs, to Hi8 and finally to digital. This was quite an improvement over silent 8mm film in that I not only captured the motion, but also got the audio. Until recently my friends and I did a lot of train watching and chasing throughout the States and over seas. Our main concern was steam wherever we could get it, in the States, overseas, and in China. However we did not neglect diesels or electric traction whenever we came across it. We like railroads, watching their trains and photographing what we see. The result is a rather large collection of railroad photography and I am happy to share it as you will see below and in the following pages.
