I've been watching trains for, as near as I can figure out for about 68 years. I grew up in the UK with steam. My thing is narrow gauge steam, and when we moved to the US I discovered the Cumbres and Toltec. I made train videos for a living for 20+ years, and did a number of photographers charter on the railroad. Riding in an open gondola on a freezing cold pitch black winter morning across the desert, stars blazing overhead, with the firebox light reflecting on the steam from two hard working K-36 2-8-2's is an awesome, unforgettable experience! Chasing a triple-header up the steep grade from Chama to Cumbres summit, loco's working hard is an amazing auditory experience.
