Welcome
Welcome to my collection of railway pictures. Most pictures at this website (apart from some of the earliest digital images) have previously been exhibited in the newsgroup alt.binaries.pictures.rail.

A.b.p.r is a friendly community of railfans from around the world, but mainly in North America and Europe.

You are welcome to browse all these pictures, and indeed, if you like any enough that you want to keep a copy of them, then you may do so, subject to the condition that you do not republish them either in the form they are posted here or in any modified form without my express permission in writing in advance.

Basically, every picture here is linked in some way to railways. Either they are pictures of trains, or pictures of railway installations, or exhibits in railway-related museums. If you are interested in trains, then you have come to the right place!
