About Me

DandHColonieMain: I live in the Albany, NY area. I grew up in Rochester (Conrail territory) but moved to Albany in 2004 and was introduced to the D&H. My first love is the Arcade and Attica Railroad in western NY, of which I am a shareholder. I love anything related to British and Welsh steam railways. God Bless.
