To have been alive during the early to mid 20th century one was able to witness the growth of technology that was going on during that period of time. Nowadays it may seem old-fashioned but transportation of the 1900 to 1950 time frame played a large role in the growth of this nation. The new technology in transportation of the 21st century has come a long way since the days of steam power and early diesels that eventually came on the scene. Today's locomotives may be bigger and more powerful but they seem to have lost their individual identity. They're all big rectangular shapes on wheels, with only colors separating ownership.

Since there is no time machine to go back and relive those glorious steam days and the transition years to early diesel years, one way is to replicate history with photography, using miniatures. So, I present my renditions of the good old days of the early and mid-20th century.
