Welcome to the RRPictureArchives.NET contributor site of Joe Hughes.  

A native of Oak Creek, WI, I now live in Springfield, MO with my beautiful and understanding wife Lisa, and our three dogs: our Blabrador, Princess Eefy Josephine, our Eskimutt, Sir Yongy Bongy Bo, and our Hound Dog, Anubis P. (for Presley) Hughes, J.D. 

As the son, grandson, and great grandson of railroaders - but not a railroader myself - I guess I was born to prowl the trackside looking for interesting locomotives. I'm most interested in BNSF, MILW, SLSF, and CNW power, in both their past and present lives, but now that my Dad has retired "up North," I have taken a recent liking to WC and GB&W.
