Welcome to KingstonSub.com!

The personal web site of Jason Shron


 

My name is Jason Shron, and I am a train-obsessed nutcase. It's very common for train lovers to build model railroads in their basements, and I am no exception. But I've gone one step further. I built a full-size train in my basement. This web site tells the story of the full-size VIA Rail Canada coach currently living in my house, as well as the model railroad I will probably be building for the next 30 years.

The name Kingston Sub refers to CN's Kingston Subdivision, the railway tracks between Toronto and Montreal. This is not a web site for Queen's University students to order sandwiches (although I do make a mean bagel).

Throughout KingstonSub.com, many of the images can be expanded by clicking on them. I've coded the site myself, so if any of the links don't work properly, please let me know and I will likely have no clue how to fix it.
