John and Scott -
Certifiable?
Moi??
Hey, my Ford Escape survived two trips to Colorado last summer, including a jaunt to the Alpine Tunnel and crossings of both Cinnamon and Ophir passes, and it only cost me two tires in addition to gas, food, hotel, etc. Where do I sign up???

p.s. Here's one of Ernie Robart's from 1974, which he gave me permission to convert to sepia for an old-timey Christmas card. It pretty well confirms John's assertion that you don't have to go very far out of town to get some good photos. (Is that Chris from Magnificent Seven on the tender?)
"Wishing you a trainload of old-fashioned Christmas cheer
And may your tracks be clear ahead throughout the coming year!"
