That would be cool to get a lightening strike on a finial!  I'm sure it's happened at some point in the past!

Does wonders for the arrestors and other stuff. Been there, done that many times as maintainer on the Tucumcari line.

Thanks so much. I was on that train having boarded legally in Las Vegas after staying only 3 nights in NM. Of course that would now make me a criminal and subject to a fine. I do remember the brief shower. Happy I got out of Dodge (or wait, that town isn't until Kansas) before the NM Governor's draconian 14 day self isolation mandate.

This is not the place for your narrow-minded complaints. They are getting old. Best to get over it or complain somewhere else.

Lot of LD trains without the Superliner Trans Dorm/Sleepers! Maybe Amtrak will do a "refresh on them!" One can only hope right!!!
