Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night

Craig Zeni – Railroading History Editor

I have lived in either Raleigh or Cary since 1975 but have deep family roots in Halifax County, NC.  I went to high school in Raleigh and graduated from NCSU.  I have had an interest in railroads since I was a kid and started to go to the Hobby Shop in Cameron Village, working there from 1985 – 1989.  I started doing railroad photography in 1983 and have been at it more or less ever since.  I’m currently a regional sales manager for a process equipment company, working from my home.

You can view more of Craig’s railroad photography at his web site.


Want a tiny physical reminder of Raleigh? City-Blox are 2"x3" photographic prints mounted directly to wood blocks. You can support this blog by buying them at Etsy.
