I've been a railfan and model railroader who has enjoyed filming and photographing prototype railroads since mid-2013.  I currently use a Canon Rebel T5 DSLR and 18-55mm and 55-250mm lenses for still photos.  A Canon Vixia HF G20 along with a Magnus VT-300 fluid head video tripod and a Rode VideoMic finishes out my video equipment.  Some of my favorite railroads (current and fallen flag) are BNSF Railway, Montana Rail Link, Burlington Northern, and Northern Pacific.  I like almost anything made by EMD as well as most GE locomotives.
