Married with two children, Eric is also an HO-scale modeller, musician, avid reader and blogger, having launched his Canadian railfan blog Trackside Treasure in 2008. Eric's first book Trackside with VIA:The First 35 Years, published in 2011, was followed by two more in 2012: Trackside with VIA:Cross-Canada Compendium and Consist Companion. In 2017, Eric published his fourth book, Trackside with VIA - Research & Recollections, followed by his two-volume Trains & Grains series in June, 2018, then two books on Kingston's waterfront history - Smoke on the Waterfront in November 2020, and Stories on the Waterfront in August, 2021.
