Hello everyone,

My name is Luke. I'm from New Jersey (originally Metuchen, now living in Long Branch, but will be moving soon). I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome in 8th grade, while going to school in Newtown, CT (where my parents still live). My main interests are trains, cats, politics, and military history.

My railroading interests include NJT (I grew up only a block away from Metuchen's NJT station), Conrail and predecessors, Chessie System and predecessors (I have relatives on my father's side who live in former Chessie territory in Maryland), and Britain's Southern Railway and its successor, British Railways Southern Region.

Hi luke.

I'm new @ WP too, even though I've been lurking for ages. And I also happen to be 23 as well.

Happy hunting :dj:
