[fa.railroad] Railfans in the San Franscisco area

Greetings,

	A friend of mine has moved from Dallas to the San Francisco
area.  Being a train buff he is rather disappointed in the little
variety of lines running in that area (as opposed to 5 or 6 in the
D/FW area) and would like to meet some people with similar interests
around the Bay area.  He's heavy into 'O' gauge models and trains in
general.  He's also into "railfanning" and would like some
recommendations about where to go and not get arrested.

	Unfortunately him new employer has no network link to the
rest of the "real world" (at least to which he has access) so this
BBoard doesn't get to him.  He'd really appreciate some contact with
some fellow railroad fans if just to tell him of some good shops to
purchase models and accessories.  Anyone interested can call him at
his work number below.

		Paul Michaelis   (mick-kay-lis)
		(415) 966-2147

P.S.	If you'd care to send him some net mail you can address it
	to me and I'll forward it to him.

P.P.S.	Paul has a very large collection of slides that he's taken
	through the years.  The slides are from all over the U.S.
	with a heavy dose from northeastern and Texas railroads.
