He produces a daily blog about railroad photography, and his articles and photography have appeared in many railway magazines. He was presented with the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society's Fred A. and Jane R. Stindt Photography Award in 2020 for his lifetime achievements in railroad photography.

Solomon is the author of more than 70 books and writes a monthly travel column and feature articles for Trains Magazine. He is the marketing manager for New Hampshire's Conway Scenic Railroad.
