TRAINS team, thank you very much BRILLIANT -hope Cajon and Mullan will follow -planning a trip to US and will go to many of these places in the west -there are many wonderful videos on youtube (some even with drones) about those locations
Most excellent reading took seconds to download Thanks
It’s a wonderful book. I am very appreciated that although I am far away from US (I am in Taiwan), I can still have the most updated information from you.
Back in late 70’s I saw the Horseshoe curve in action when I was visiting my sister who was living near there at the time. I was in awe when I saw it and still remember it today. I often wonder what it was like to to go around that curve by train. Growing up in Chicago was another remembrance of being near trains.

Thanks for the download. Interesting to be forced to realize that the 90’s are becoming long ago…
While so much has changed since these articles were first written, they still make for excellent reading.
Thank you!

What a great free benefit. On an otherwise slow (i.e. boring) day, suddenly, I’m engaged in reading a wonderful publication, with great maps and photographs. Thank you Trains!!!
