I, too, love Funnelfan's photos. He is the best in the Northwest, maybe even in the whole world. He has a signature style that's uniquely Funnelfan in how he can incorporate the local features, including signs, trash, and buildings to show railroading the way it really is. None of those pretty photos for me. Teddy tells it the way it really is. The other thing about Ted is he really knows railroading - especially the strategic operations side of it. I'm just amazed he hasn't progressed from contract crew driver to contract cola train unloader. I always thought a guy with his talents would have moved up fast in a class one's management ranks. I don't get it.

Hope he gets a feature presentation at Gorgerail.
