My name is Dan Quine. I have been an enthusiast of narrow gauge railways, particularly Welsh ones, since an early age. In the last decade I have written a series of articles about these railways, and have more recently been engaged in research on their wider social and historical impact.
I hold a degree in Computer Science and a PhD in Artificial Intelligence, both from the University of Leeds. I currently live in San Francisco, and work in the software industry.
