Added a new volume to the RailFan Trips section (aka - Wish You Were Here). Vol 16 picks up with images taken of the last UP Costa Mesa local that ran in 2007 on 12.28. Also updated a previous Extra version of the Wish You Were Here section with completely re-done images. Make your way to the Wish You Were Here main page by clicking the WYWH hotlink above.
Happy New Year... Chris

Today I finally got in my update that was ready last Sunday. I added a new page for the city of Whittier, CA onto the Photography / Locations page along with 6 new images.
That is all for now I guess.

Well 13 more days til I turn 33, kinda strange. Guess it happens to all of us. Trying to get back to work on this site again more often, but that has not been going to well. I plan on spending some quality time later today working on finishing up some page updates with new photos. Been catching some local action around Los Angeles and Orange County that I want to post on here. Most of my new updates have been going on the WCRF forum as I can do those anywhere. The WestCoastRailForums.com is running much better than expected honestly. I am happy to see it growing in members and content, and I hope it remains a place that everyone feels welcome to visit and post.
I need to get this site ported over to my laptop so I can work on it while out railfanning and waiting. Anyways, enough of my rambling. Check back later on today if you feel inclined to do so. I will post what has been updated in this area as normal... Chris

Happy Mid-Year. This update is in regards to a few updated pages, new main menu and well... that is about it really. Been another long while since working on the site. Figured I would spend a good day doing some remodeling and catch up on other updates. So, I added the new designed home page with the new menu - renamed a few things but nothing to drastic. Added a few images in the Cajon Pass location section - just some older images that had not been included before. Removed a few old pages that I did not want to take the time to update since they require digging through archives of images. I also did some more work on my Los Angeles location page. That one and the Santa Fe Springs revamp are turning out to be gigantic. Neither of them are near completion yet however. I did add about half of my images from the 2006 visit of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus train in LA and Orange County to the Circus Train page. Also added a few images to the Railfan page.

Happy New Years to everyone. Finally had some time to update the other Wilmington page that I had planned to do back in September. I added in a page of images of the track that is ran mostly by the Pacific Harbor Line out of Wilmington in LA Harbor. You can view the page directly from this link for the time being while I take a few minutes to update the other Wilmington page with additional images and a link to the new page. That is all for now.

September upon us once more. Already winding down the year... anyways, I am working on the location page for the city of Wilmington, CA. "The Heart of the Harbor" and one of my favorite places to go railfanning any given Sunday. I put the first page up today in full, and page two will follow shortly with coverage of the Pacific Harbor Line trackage in the area. Click here to see what is there now... Chris

Happy August everyone... hope everyone in So Cal is bearing through this heatwave better than I at least. No new page updates right now, just uploaded some images of the RBBX Circus Train, and will be building my page of images from this very fun chase real soon as well as a few other updates in the works. I have some big slide show productions that I am working on for a friends yearly event coming up in a few weeks so that is really where my focus is at this time. I also signed up for a new newsletter service provider which I will be trying out in a few days for those of you that subscribe to my update newsletter. Stay tuned for these things soon.. until then . Stay Safe . Chris Walker

Hello, lots of stuff going on here with changes and updates. This is the new Sute Updates page. I did a few updates to the City of Commerce location page as well as the Buena Park location page. Each city got new photos added and the page. I also updated and added a new photo to the Cajon Pass - Alray location page. Another update to the site is the new main menu. It is still in it's infant stage so to speak as I have other mods that I am going to make to it very soon. Thanks to a feedback from a few friends, this page was created to help everyone see what is new. I plan on having thumbnals down the right side that will show the last 5 images added to the site.
Right now I am off to see a movie, so I will get back to this some time tomorrow.
Thanks for visiting... Chris Walker

The latest update to the site comes to the Location's photo page. I have finally brought online my city page of Huntington Beach, CA. With HB being my home town I had a couple things that I was working on specific for the page before I brought it online. It can be found at this link.
In other news, I have a large gathering of sorts planned for this upcoming Memorial Day weekend at Caliente, CA. This is along the UP's Mojave Sub through the Tehachapi Pass. It is shaping up to be a great event with a lot of friendly railfan's. As said, it is a weekend event, meaning we will be camping. Our gathering place will be near a large Oak Tree just west of the Caliente Horseshoe Curve. You can find more info on the event at the following link
