Crazy? - Yes it sure is!

Sure I've posted this great Pylon song before, and here's the R.E.M. cover too.

Late April Snow Showers Bring May....?

Taken today, April 28 at 11:00 am. Roberts Street in Helena. Wind chill was at 15 degrees.

Seeing as how snow has been recorded in every calendar month in Helena, who knows what May will bring. We did have a 70+ degree day this month, glad I didn't plant that tomato plant I bought yet.

Making up a ballast train at Roberts Street. The 45s put on a fine bass show in the process.

A set of road power crosses Roberts Street in Helena after picking up an MRL SD70ACe as an unmanned helper.

Power is back on their WB ocean stack train as the Moon just rises above a bank of clouds.

Unfortunately the clock in the tower has stopped. Moonrise time was 8:50 p.m., and its about 9:30.

KCS de Mexico On The Lam

Lots of KCS power lately on the MRL increasing the chance you may get one on the point.

Kansas City Southern de Mexico ES44AC 4742 is rumored to have fled from an ICE detention center in Laredo last month.

Despite the wintry appearance, Spring is slowly arriving in Montana.
