Mark Klingel is a twenty-five-year-old native of Southeastern Michigan who grew up in the quiet suburbs outside of Detroit. His passion for the railroad started at the age of three, watching the Henry Ford Museum’s steam locomotive, the Edison, in action. After graduating college and working in sales and marketing, Mark devoted some of his spare time to photographing the railroads of the Great Lakes State and is now an active-duty member in the United States Coast Guard.
