Back from the Black Hills!

Wow! I've been participating in a sport that I didn't know was a sport or that it had a name. Sounds like great fun.

If you're ever up in rezlands you can play with the Black Mesa and Lake Powell line. Sorry, can't be ridden though. Its the coal train from the mines on Black Mesa, Arizona to the Navajo Generating Station coal fired plant near Page. Runs about 90 miles across the rez. Lots of good photo spots.



And thanks for the pics. My maternal grandfather was a cattleman of sorts up in Philip and Ft. Pierre, S.D. in the late 1800s

That's a nice one! Thanks for the tip! I may have to make plans for a weekend there! I've never actually seen an electric engine in service, aside from cable cars.

Here's one of my favorites from New Mexico:



It's from the Cumbres & Toltec line. My dad helped restore it in the early 1970's. I literally learned how to walk on this line.

Edit: I just did a TrainWeb search for your railroad, and here's what I found! http://www.trainweb.org/southwestsho...lp.html#PHOTOS There are some great pictures there!
