19 March 2001
My wife is an architect and belongs to CSI (Constructions Specifications Institute). The group often tours interesting facilities and I get to come along. The monthly meeting and tour for March 2001 was at the new Amtrak Training Facility at Wilmington, DE. When she asked if I wanted to go, I jumped at the chance! I'm a real fan of trains, but not enough to be considered a railfan. The pictures on this site include train simulators of certain engines, like the F40, F59, and P40/42. At least I think that's what they were. My wife was taking notes and I was clicking away. So if I made any stupid errors on my narratives, please let me know at via email to atcw at this domain. Thanks.. Unfortunately, half way through the tour, my camera's auto-focus feature failed and this particular camera doesn't have a manual focus, so I was pretty upset. At least it got stuck at a half-way decent setting, but some of the close-up shots aren't focused very well, and that upsets me to no end. All pictures contained are Copyright 2001 Ken Weaverling.
