— Reed Hamilton

15 year old rail photographer from North-Central Indiana. I love model railroading and hockey as well. I was introduced to Thomas the Tank Engine when I was about 4 or so. Ever since then, my knowledge has been growing and growing. I started photographing trains in early to mid 2020.
