Steam locomotive 44422 - meet the 'Four Freight'
Anyone who likes old trains and is visiting the U.S. of A. this summer might be interested in visiting the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad. It's on the border of Colorado and New Mexico, and was part of the Denver and Rio Grande Western narrow gauge route. The more familiar Durango and Silverton railroad was also part of the same route, but their connection was cut--it crosses a Native American reservation--in around 1970 when the D&RG abandoned the line. They are both worth visiting, the C&TSR for its authenticity in freight handling technology, and the Durango train for its passenger equipment.
Here's a web cam that shows how things look now. Still winter... http://www.coloradonewmexicosteamtrain.org/yard-cams-02.htm
(I was to attend another 15 March protest against the Orbán government, but it was called off amidst the total traffic chaos and moved to Sunday.) *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
