Election Day!  Yesterday ( the 1st) I couldn’t get the coffee shop door open.  I had to look to make sure it wasn’t closed!  Today, they fixed the sticky door.  Sort of. And gratuitous trains, because…trains! Heading to the refinery, of course. ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Another Avis trip to Belgrade for Avis: A military train of big trucks.  There may have been a few Humvees too, but I didn’’t see any tanks or such. Between Cascade and Ulm the Dust hit…all the cars went from 80MPH to about 30MPH.  It was a spooky 20-30 seconds, then out of the Dust! […]

A quick peak at a bit of the motive power for the Kalifornia High Speed Rail Money Pit! Actually, this is one of my favorite photos.  It is from 2010 at the Union Pacific Railroad Station/Museum in Ogden, UT.  An old engine is dire need of a lot of restoration! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! …Now, at […]
