 Date: 04/15/14 07:57 Re: As far as the eye can see ... but where? Author: Lee_in_KC Wild a$$ guess... SP train compass-southwest-bound on the Golden State Route somewhere between Dalhart and Tucumcari.

I was going to say Wyoming somewhere, but I like this guess a lot better. Single code line is the key, I think.

Date: 04/15/14 09:39 Re: As far as the eye can see ... but where? Author: bnsfbob I think this is a Santa Fe shot. Probably on the plains of Eastern, NM.

Looks like KS to me, but I cannot render a specific location. Date: 04/15/14 14:04 Re: As far as the eye can see ... but where? Author: WAF If its the Golden State Route, the train is the RI/LAEST running late in KS

Looks like KS > to me, but I cannot render a specific location. I'm stumped. Have to rule out KS, OK and TX? because of jagged mountains visible in the distance. Looks like welded rail which was rare on the anything but the "transcon" mainline. Also, looks like single track, so east of Belen, NM? Finally, there appears to be a stand of grain elevators in the distance? Bob Date: 04/15/14 15:20 Re: As far as the eye can see ... but where? Author: valmont How about the plains of another state, one that would fit part of your sharp-eyed description ..."jagged mountains visible in the distance"?

There are a few guess candidates. One would be Colorado between La Junta and Trinidad. Looking Southwest, the pole line and mountains would be in the correct spot. There was welded rail west of La Junta but I'm not sure what year it was put in. Bob Date: 04/15/14 16:02 Re: As far as the eye can see ... but where?

That would be just east of Timpas, CO, good job BNSFbob! Date: 04/17/14 14:51 Re: As far as the eye can see ... but where? Author: HardYellow I would say, if it’s a Santa Fe....... a westbound east of Flagstaff, AZ about 50 miles.
If it’s SP.. I would say westbound, west of Deming, NM Santa Fe is my first guess because the middle unit has a “gumball” light on the cab roof. Date: 04/25/14 04:56 Re: As far as the eye can see ... but where? Author: valmont HardYellow Wrote:
