You know I love trains.

One of the things that is such a pleasant memory from my childhood... was sitting on the bank in the grass and watching the train go by. I love the whistles... I love the sound of the engine racing... I love jumping the tracks... I love it all.

One of the nice things about being in Albuquerque... was that they still have an active railway system here. ... and sometimes... late at night... I can hear the whistle blowing... even across the city.

When we went to the Grand Canyon... and when we stopped in Williams, AZ... one of the main attractions is the railyard station.. and the glorious trains they have there. And so... I took some photos.
