It really captures the essence of an early morning boarding of the SW Chief in west. Posted from iPhone Date: 09/03/12 21:42 Re: SW Chief in New Mexico Author: aussiehinz Great pix! Great weather, too! That 145 looks real nice in those surroundings. Shot #11, in particular, is simply beautimous. I'd conclude that your long journey was well worth the effort. Glad you could catch it.

TO members that are chasing a AMTK Heritage Unit? I would say the odds were pretty good ... :) Tony Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/04/12 16:52 by zuco74.
