My computer for some reason originally posted the un-shopped version of the view that you used, can you tell what's different? Hint - has to do with air conditioning... === === = === JLH

Bwahaha! It's easier to beat them on my racing bike, my single speed commuter has a hard time getting in front of a 15mph train.

I also saw this TACOMA at Wellington and chased it the 10 miles back south on my racing bike. Good thing they have to slow down for yard limits.

Thanks! This is the DENver to GReat Falls, MT train, recently renamed from the DENver to LAUrel, MT (DENLAU). I am still unclear why they changed this.

The wye is almost all gone now, just a few pieces left in the street. Now it's just a curve...

So they don't have to pay MRL to switch out the train in Laurel.
