Lea and Eric at Matfield Green, KS on a trainwatching expeditionABOUT ME  

Hi, my name is Eric Burris, the creator of Railnet and my adjacent sites that are all linked.  Updated February, 2005. 

    My name is Eric Burris and I am 26 years old as of Jan 6, 2005. I am a serious dedicated "Spirit filled" Christian as of early 2003. I believe in the 5 fold ministry with the "Baptism of the Holy Spirit" and the spritual prayer language called "speaking in tongues".   I married Lea Ann Reed on September 13, 2003 and she is 28 years old.  I Praise the Lord 24/7 for all my blessings and my NEW LIFE.   I got Lea into watching trains and talking to the railfans or railroaders.

I am also serious "Railroad Fan" with a serious interest with ham radios, antennas, and scanners, as well as trains. I also have a green thumb and enjoy collecting and maintaining houseplants and some outdoor plants. I would love to someday have a garden railroad. A garden RR is large scale model trains that are for outdoor use, such as in a flower garden. I also do photography with over thousands of railroad pictures in my collection, over the years.

I also love cats, three in my family now. Buddy, Cally, and Fancy Face.

I talk on Echolink either on the PC or with my Echo-link system on 2meters on 147.540 simplex. look me up on Echolink. To download the free program go here http://www.echolink.org/el/

I am also on Yahoo messenger now, my username is [ephesians2v4@sbcglobal.net].

I currently have a Uniden BC785D base/mobile scanner , Radio Shack Pro-95 and Pro-83 handheld scanners.

My ham radio fleet currently consists of a Yaseu VX7R, a transmit defunct VX150 2mt handheld, Alinco DJ-V5TH dualband handheld, Kenwood TM261A 2mt mobile.

The antenna fleet currently is: ARX2B RINGO RANGER 2 5/8 WAVE VERTICAL, HOMEMADE 1/4 WAVE GROUNDPLANE FOR SCANNER, 160MHZ DIPOLE FOR RR RADIO, A NEW RADIO SHACK DISCONE, AND DIPOLE FOR FRS BASE STATION.

My computer is a kit I built. Has Athelon AMD 17+ processor, 256megabytes ram, 20gigabytes harddrive.

  IF YOU COME  TO WATCH TRAINS AT EMPORIA EMAIL ME AND LET ME KNOW.  I  MIGHT SEE YOU  BECAUSE I WATCH TRAINS ALOT, MOSTLY AT THE DEPOT WHERE EVERYONE ELSE IS.
