Very nice Belmondo. I wish I could get my train shots that crisp. They run right past my place and I get out there every now and again but no cigar. They're close but not like what you get.

It's a very strategic merge there...I doubt it'll happen soon, but I'm worried about my reds as well! Calgary Wedding Photography by Matthew Hicks: www.matthicksphoto.com

There is a windmill tour I've been threatening to take. I'm sure they'd have all that information, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!

You definitely feel the ground shake when these things pass by. I can imagine it Tom Very few people mentioned the hair. I suspect there were fears that I might actually look like that, and they didn't want to offend me.

That is all I ever see anymore is nothing more than UP. The Closest BNSF line near me is the Sioux City branch just 20 Miles to my West. If I really want alot of BNSF Trains. I have to travel almost 50 Miles just see some BNSF. I wish that I lived right next to the BNSF. But,I have to live with the UP for now. Allan Love Jr

Unless I feel like driving that far, I'm pretty much stuck with UP. I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!
