Two of my favorite pastimes - Exploring and Photography.
Put them together = my passion for sharing the places that I've been.
When I'm not working, I love spending time with my family and friends. Taking photos of the places that
we've been, and that I've been, is one of the best ways for me to unwind and create lasting memories.
The photos that I offer are originals, taken at some of the most beautiful places that I've visited and explored.
Available in many unique products. ENJOY!

JOHN COCKRELL SP/UP Retired Engineer
My wife calls me, Mr. RailroadTM
Sharing my 45 year railroad experiences is my PASSION!
I want people to know what it was like to work for the railroad - how the railroad operates, what the crews go through, how the railroad changed since I hired on - until I retired. Most people see a train as a cool thing, but they don't have a clue as to what goes on behind the scenes.
My railroad career began when I was hired in engine service for the Southern Pacific Railroad on my 18th birthday, 1955.
I started as a Fireman, and promoted to Engineer in 1971. I was one of the few employees hired in engine service that started by firing steam engines and retired as an employee operating up to 6,000 horsepower computer-controlled General Electric diesel locomotives, with just under 2,000,000 compensated miles.

Am I a small business compulsive?
Or, a writing compulsive?
Or, a product design compulsive?
An event organizing compulsive? Or, a networking - social media compulsive?
Or, just maybe, ALL of them? Inspired by my husband, sons, and family. I've done it all.
