I am sick of snow (and it's only been a couple days of it) so I am posting a photo from last summer. This is in Wyoming and it may have been the hottest day I experienced last summer.

... This is in Wyoming ...

Where? Looks familiar - near Medicine Bow, off of US267? I can't reconcile that diverging route, however.

One of my favorite areas to railfan, for 50 years. Maybe it's just that most of Wyoming looks like that.

Last week I took a business trip to San Diego and Phoenix where it was 75, returning back home to 20 degree weather.  The next day I was up in New York's Southern Tier.  Unfortunately I had few opportunities to take photos, but I did see a few BNSF trains and several trolleys while driving in the San Diego area.

I found Reeds' Hobby Shop in La Mesa; this display is just a few hundred yards down the street from the store:



Prior to returning to the airport, I found the Amtrak station downtown.  Lousy shot as there was no place to park so I took this one from the car while stopped for a passing trolley:



Almost exactly 72 hours and 2260 miles (as the crow flies) later, I was driving through Bath NY when my fiancĂ©e spotted these two ALCo's alongside the highway.  Although indistinct in the photo, the unit furthest away is indeed the Bath & Hammondsport unit, as advertised by the road sign:



A few minutes later we captured the B&H unit leading the way north to Cohocton:

I uploaded some photos that I took coming back to college after Christmas. Here is one of a waterpipe used as a park monument in Staunton, Va. Most likely C&O.

Just west of Cheyenne on Rte. 225.
