The B&M collection covers the time period from 1973 through the 2000's. It spans a time period from when a high school kid was to his first Railfan's Weekend outing (shooting his first B&M slides from the Bellows Falls arch bridge for the first time) through the change over to digital medium. During the years prior to B&M shedding its blue paint for charcoal and orange, we were able to venture into far more places without being harassed. During this time we also cast many long term friendships with individuals within the railroad industr (it nver hurts to have friends in high places). Thusly, you may see photos taken in locations that today are quite impossible without the fear of at least being tossed off the property or being arrested!,
