    I agree. He had an eye for what railfans wanted to see.

    Jim Shaughnessy was one of the best contributors to TRAINS/CLASSIC TRAINS of all time. His easy-to-read prose style made it a joy to peruse an article for which I had no particular interest.
    Now, I see his photos also proved that a picture is worth a thousand words.
    He is still missed today.
