2026/02/08 • Westbound BNSF at Tiger Switch Road
I was trying to find a couple of cabooses near the industrial park in Catoosa (it actually has a Tulsa address - on Tiger Switch Rd, just west of N 170th E Ave). I found them on a spur at this location. Just after I had finished taking pics, I heard a train coming, and was able to get a video of that also.

2025/09/09 • Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad
â–º Before we got started, we saw a rainbow in the clouds when we went for breakfast.
Then, after I dropped dad off at the depot, and was headed to the parking lot,
I saw 3 elk munching on plants at the local graveyard headstone shop.
â–º The uphill stretch. 3.5 hours, 45.4 miles, from 6,512ft to 9,302ft.
Definitely harder to breathe, and it was cooler up top. Great ride, lot's to see.

â–º At one point we went under the Royal Gorge Bridge, which was our next stop.

2025/08/28 • Governor's Landing Bridges
These bridges, one for cars and truck, and the other for trains, were both impressive in their own ways.
Lake Amistad is on the Rio Grande, and I made a wrong turn when I left the area from where I was flying my drone,
wasn't paying enough attention, and I almost drove into Mexico, as the road I turned on crosses the dam into Mexico!

2025/07/06 • Williams Loop, Quincy, CA
â–º Leaving Truckee, CA, on our way to Mt. Lassen NP, we stopped at the Williams Loop, near the town of Quincy, CA on US-89. This is a train "loop" used to gain altitude in a short distance, keeping the grade to a minimum. This is similar to the Tehachapi Loop between Bakersfield, CA and Mojave, CA.
â–º Unfortunately, there were no trains today, BUT Geri and I did walk the entire loop, just for the fun of it!

â–º Near Burney Falls, CA (which was so crowded the cars were lined up on the highway to get in) we stopped at the railroad bridge that was used in the film "Stand By Me". If you've seen the film, you'll definitely remember the scene with the train and the bridge.

2025/05/04 • Summit Scenic Overlook (Cajon Pass Overlook)
→ Had great plans to set up multiple cameras and also fly my drone.
→ When I got here, I had my cell phone in my hand and walked to the edge so I could look down on the rails, and almost immediately a train came around the curve, so all I got was the cell phone video.
