Stephen Delaney has long been interested in how
transportation shapes our society. Having grown up at the tail end of the
steam era...he just barely remembers steam trains, but he and his Dad were
on the last steam excursion train from Boston to Portland. His interest
includes teaching a course at Boston University entitled "Special
Topics in
Transportation."   An experienced photographer,
Steve will incorporate railroad photographs into his presentation.
