Re: Long Black Train

I had mentioned to Roger elsewhere that the only time I saw the frieght moving was around 9pm at Coxo, coming back from working in Antonito all day.

It was very surreal to pull up to a grade crossing in the dark, and watch this freight rumble by in my headlights, with no waving tourists.

Not having a chance to ride the train this year (despite several free tickets waiting), it was one of my best treats of the summer.
