• This page was created and is maintained by Zane Riester. The site opened in June of 1998 and is updated regularly.

How did it develop?

• Following my graduation from University I was awarded a Watson Fellowship to examine the similarities between 19th century Victorian railroad stations and 17th century Baroque churches in France, Italy and the United Kingdom.  Already fascinated with these vast cathedrals of the Industrial Revolution, I soon became obsessed.  From the project's inception I wanted to share my observations and discoveries with others.  Stations are buildings for the masses and the internet is the people's medium.

Can I add material?

• Yes!  Contributions are very welcome.  If you have pictures, postcards, articles, books, links, art or anything else and would like them included ,contact me at RiesterZ@aol.com.

How did you create the site?

• This site was created by myself using Front Page and personal html skills. Pictures and animations were made with Paint Shop Pro 5. 

How can I contact you?

• You may contact me via email at RiesterZ@aol.com All questions will be answered within a week.

What is next?

• The site will hopefully continue to grow and incorporate the United States and the rest of the world.
