Denver RTD Light Rail Nine Mile Broadway and Littleton Train Some short clips of Denver's excellent light rail network, including some recent extensions to the line. Recorded January 19th, 2008. The network is well laid out, and the LRV's ride well, but they sure could use a good wash!

Izaak Walton Inn Train Adventure, Essex Montana, Glacier Last weekend I enjoyed a trip to the famous Izaak Walton Inn near Waterton Glacier Park, in Essex, Montana. The trip their aboard the Empire Builder was great, and the Inn was even better. There was Great Northern memorabilia everywhere, as well as fellow railfans. There were many great hiking trails as well, but the best part was the trains, lots of them. Essex is a helper station, with SD40-2 sets coupling up with freights for the steep climb up Marias Pass. If you like trains and/or the outdoors, you should really consider a trip to the Izaak Walton Inn.

ORHF Puget Sound Steam Special May 19th 2007, SP 4449 UP 844 This steam double header with SP #4449 and UP #844 from Tacoma to Everett and back was my best steam excursion ever! I would like to thank the Barriger Library, Union Pacific Railroad, BNSF Railway, Friends of the 4449, Oregon Rail Heritage Foundation, the Washington State Historical Society, and Conductor Reed Jackson for making this trip possible. A coach seat was $299, and Dome $399. Double headed steam on a Class I mainline was truly priceless! Being that this was the same day as my 30th birthday made the trip even more memorable.

Free Transit Day in the Bay Area 04/30/2007 Caltrain, BART + April 30th, 2007, was free transit day in the Bay Area of California due to the partial collapse of the San Francisco-Oakland highway. Many people took transit to work who wouldn't have otherwise. Meanwhile, tourists such as myself enjoyed free rides on BART, VTA light rail, Caltrain, and some almost free fun on the San Jose Beach Boardwalk Giant Coaster, and the Amtrak San Joaquins.
