 The Spilt Years
This site is about trains. I started photographing trains in 1967. My first pictures were made in the Netherlands,
but soon I started travelling through Germany, Austria, France and other European countries. The main item of these
travels were steam locomotives, but I made pictures of other trains, tramways, subways and busses as well. I have
also made films (super-8 and video) and audio recordings.
This site contains about 15,000 pictures. There is a lot I cannot show here, so if you are interested in a
particular subject, please send me a mail. When selecting photos for my site, I concentrate on the early seventies.
If available, I use colour pictures. I have organized my pictures in two ways; by type of train (e.g. German 01.10
Pacifics) and by theme (e.g. a visit to the Rheine-Emden line). So many pictures are used twice on this site.
When photographing, I used several types of film. Sometimes I used twin cameras, for colour and black & white
pictures. Recent pictures were made using a digital camera. You should preferably set your screen to 1024x768 resolution or better.
The photo captions are all in Dutch. I hope you will enjoy this site, even if you don't understand all of the text.
I would be glad to answer your mail, if you have any questions. You can write me in English or German. You may
also try Google Translate.
