Join us for entertainment to be
provided by the National Railway Historical Society's New York Chapter
Historian and Director, Joseph M. Calisi. The program is a photographic recap
of the Electric Railroaders Association European extravaganza this past May,
2012. The group chased after trams, trolleys, funiculars, ropeways and Italian
high speed Frecciarossa trains all over Northern and Central Italy. The
presentation includes an update on Italian rail transportation since 2012.
Don't miss this excellent show!
Known as the International Transportation Photojournalist since 1993, I’ve contributed to the information world in print (magazines and newspapers) and electronic media (TV reporter and interviewee, radio and websites) for over 20 years.
Congratulations also go to Joseph
who has added to his impressive portfolio of published work, the cover
photograph of a national publication - the February, 2013 Trains Magazine – an
interior shot of Grand Central Terminal in connection with the 100th
anniversary of New York’s emblematic rail terminal. This is in addition to the
magazine covers of Railway Age magazine - the #1 rail industry
publication of the Americas over the years. Visit his website at: http://josephmcalisiphotography.com and
transportation blog at: http://railientrails.blogspot.com/
An added feature is that an 11-minute documentary will be shown on the last days of mainline steam railroading in Inner Mongolia, China. This presentation garnered me a Telly Award in 2003.
Come and enjoy the show!
