Western Railroad Discussion > KYLE east from Limon today

Work has me in Denver for a while, and with a day off and nice weather, I decided to try my hand at the KYLE.  With what many a gambler would call beginner's luck, I rolled right up onto the train just getting things together to head east from Limon around 0930 this morning.  I saw another fan taking pics, and wondered if it was cozephyr by any chance.  It certainly was.  I still shoot slides, so this is just a cell phone pic, but he was working this train over from the ground and air, so maybe he'll post some better photos.  For me, it was a great way to enjoy a mild day in eastern Colorado.

Great photos, and thanks for adding those to the thread.  I also appreciate the "rest of the story" on the Tower.  It had me wondering.  I swung through there to figure if there was a decent way to work it into a photo.  Not that I saw from the ground, but taking to the air was indeed the answer.  Glad you racked up some good shots out there, as well.  I'll have my slides back in a matter of months, after I collect up enough rolls to send to the lab. ;-p
 

Love that second shot!
