Welcome to Rich Varner's Railroad Picture Archives!

Front Page Pic Welcome to the RRPictureArchives.NET contributor site of Rich Varner.  

My interest in taking railroad photos started during my early teens as I used to watch the Rock Island and Milwaukee trains pass by my house in eastern Iowa.  In the early 70's, I made several trips to Silvis, Ill. to see the Rock Island shops.

I later lived in K.C., Mo., Alabama, Kentucky, then back to K.C., Mo., where I met my good friends Wes Rupe, Jack Rodkey and Bruce Hayden.  Wes and I railfanned almost every weekend in K.C. in the 80's.  Wes, Jack, Bruce and I also took several railfan trips out of town.  Wes gave me several prints over the years and many of them I have scanned and posted to this site.

I later moved to STL but lived there only briefly before moving to Louisville, Ky.  I currently live in Indiana.  I enjoyed taking railroad pictures the entire time.

Most of the pictures I took were prints. I have a TON of prints that I have been working on scanning in and posting to this site.  I have been posting only some of the better pictures I have.

Please enjoy looking thru some of my older pictures.  I enjoy being able to share them!
