    JBLM is south of me about 25 miles near Tacoma, Wa and these are always flyin' around, usually touch and go practice.

    Those crews really know how to fly those!!:cool:

    From early 2000's. The one and only grey NS 86' boxcar that I ever saw in person. Still think it looks cool.

    After firing up the way back machine, we get to late 2009, and the westbound SP 4449 trip through the BNSF highline and Glacier National Park.

    Tunnel 3.7 is east of Belton (West Glacier):

    In October 1995, Amtrak's Cardinal makes a stop at White Sulphur Springs, WV, location of an exclusive resort once owned by the C&O. Note the private cars on the house tracks.

    Taken in September 1989, a former B&O RDC is seen at Union Station in Washington, DC. That's busy K Tower behind the RDC, named for nearby K Street.

    Washington, DC's Metro capably provided all of our transportation with excellence. This is the stunning barrel-vaulted station at McPherson Square.

    It's fascinating to watch the WAS Union Station yard action from the top floor of the station's parking garage.

    Two more shots from Washington, DC, both from July 1985 when I rode the Crescent between Birmingham, AL and Trenton, NJ. Another shot of K Tower, plus two EMD AEM-7 racehorses. Before I wandered off, the Conductor wanted assurance that I'd be back on board for departure. I made good on my commitment. :)
