    I used to ride that Rail Runner in NM. Pretty nice train ride; on time, comfort, and cheap ride from the outlined areas to either Albuquerque, or Santa Fe.
    Thanks for sharing and bringing that memory back

    I agree with Ken, very nice variety. Which of you recent Army guys can identify those tracked vehicles? Keep up the good work, Will.

    Very nice variety indeed! I like the depot behind the Rail Runner.

    Ken, if you want to feel cold, come on over here tonight - it's going to plummet down to -21C overnight, that's -6F... :eek:

    We were minus 18F Friday night. Cool enough for me. My car barely started Saturday morning.

    Good to see BNSF units still wearing Heritage 1 paintscheme. And others still with BN's... :)

    Thanks Bill for choosing one of my photos. I always endeavor to put something up each week that folks might find interesting.

    Those are the ever powerful Mike 88's. I never needed to be pulled by one. But they are quite powerful. And loud! A broke down tanks best friend..
