    Here's one of an Amtrak train (sorry, can't say which one) taking on passengers at San Antonio, January, 2006.

    No, that big building isn't the station. That's the Alamo Dome. The station is the little building behind the train. You can just see the pink arches.

    We lucked out and didn't get any more snow out of the clouds. However I bet the mountains got hammered.

    Thank you for posting that. I've been to that museum a bunch of times, and seeing that picture has brought back some memories for me.

    I love that place!

    Is that taken on the train while you wait to head back to Strasburg station?

    Great Photo...I could easily have been on that train on my way back from a business meeting in Washington, DC.

    Boy, was it ever nice being able to tell folks "I'll be there for your 10:00 meeting", because the Crescent got into Alexandria at 9:00. The Finance Manager initially went into orbit until I pointed out that AMTRAK round-trip first class fare was ~$400 less than air, and I was saving two nights in a Washington area hotel at $250 each. Would you believe he joined me on one of those trips...and LOVED IT! :tb-cool:
