I'll add one to your list; because we like trains (the real thing). I live on
the most direct rail line (Union Pacific) between Kansas City and Denver.
Typical traffic includes coal and grain trains, which explains why one of my
projects is building coal and grain cars (thanks Larry). This past summer I
chased Amtrack's Southwest Chief about 20 miles while traveling on I-25 near
the Colorado-New Mexico state line, which explains my other project, an Amtrack
like passenger train. There is something about a train.
