It is time to once again revisit the past. Our guide this month through word and photographs is Art Peterson who has assembled from the Krambles-Peterson Archives an excellent mix of images of Chicago's long-lost Dearborn Station and name trains from the 1950s, 60s and 70s. This link will take you trackside at Dearborn Station .

From there, we'll travel to the Pacific Northwest with a focus on main-line electrification. While many of the digital photos come from the Krambles-Peterson Archives, images from other photographers help tell the story. Here is the link to the Pacific Northwest Main-Line .

In addition, this month's TDS includes state-based rosters for the letters "U" and "V", and it includes short line and regional railroads based in Urah, Vermont and Virginia.

Lastly, please remember to be safe when trackside!
