Re: RGS 20 at Phantom

Excellent photo William, an interesting and different perspective. I am grateful I was able to give you my spot in line, so you could get down on your tummy and get such a great shot, It was nice to meet you yesterday and thanks for your takes and insight into being an engineer for Amtrak/Railpax on the SW Chief out of Albuquerque. I hope our paths cross again someday so I can get your takes on the new Chargers.

For those who weren't there, this was a static shot recreating the Trains cover of the brakeman on the 20.

1) We did manage to get the brakeman to smile, notice Engineer Carlos photobombing from the cab
2) Jim Wrinn from Trains Magazine who helped organize the trip,
3) Crew pic, notice the smiles, they did an excellent job. Deep down I bet 20 was smiling too, after being able to get out and about after all those years in Golden.

Overall it was a great trip. Jeff's pic above doesn't do justice to the great consist. Watching it roll by during the runbys was fun, especially the tank cars and the RGS caboose!
