The Rutland Road - Second Edition

About the author

Jim Shaughnessy derived his interest in railroading from an uncle who once worked for the D&H. A railroad photographer for nearly four decades, he has an eye for composition which results in photographs that not only feature trains' mechanical details but also give consideration to the total interaction between the train, its surroundings, and the human aspect of the overall scene. Night photography is his special favorite, and Mr. Shaughnessy is renowned for his pioneering work in that field. He has contributed widely to periodicals such as Trains, Railfan, Adirondack Life, and Down East. In 1987 Mr. Shaughnessy was given the coveted Photography Award from the prestigious Railway & Locomotive Historical Society. He is a licensed professional engineer with a degree from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, has taught civil engineering at the Hudson Valley Community College for ten years, and retired in 1995 as the director of environmental health for Rensselaer County. He resides in Troy, New York, with his wife, the former Carol McNaughton, and his son, James Donald, also a civil engineer.
