Excellent set. The last one reminds me of my Dad’s story where he took my oldest brother to the rail yard in Grampa’s town and the switching conductor let them ride along.
That streamlined Milwaukee Road Hiawatha on the catalogue cover was something to dream about and wish for (never did get one though).
Today I drove the I-40 between CA and AZ.
I’ve driven that stretch of the interstate many times. The RR runs within sight for many miles.
Today I counted eleven westbound trains stopped nose to tail. Only three eastbound trains in motion. I’ve not seen that before.
The crews on the westbound probably ran out their twelve hours on duty time.
