St Kitts Scenic Railway
When I cruise I can always find ways to amuse myself on shore without forking over sums for shore excursions. If, however, a railroad is involved, count me in.
The Caribbean Island of St. Kitts has the remnants of a narrow gauge line that once went around the entire island linking the sugar cane plantations with the factories that processed the cane. An 18 mile segment of this railroad is now the St. Kitts Scenic Railway.

Muted Fall Colors on the RBM&N
มุมมอง 103วันที่ผ่านมา
What I hoped would be a bright shiny late October day quickly morphed into a gray day and then a bit of rain. Although the fall colors were muted the dark colors of the Reading and Northern ex NS/Southern F units sufficed. A 15 car train out of Reading Outer Station going to Jim Thorpe got caught in several locations and then again on its way back. A cameo appearance by a triplet of RDCs was al...

Friday the 13th Lucky Day at Iona

Totally oblivious to the fact that it was Friday the 13th I went down to Iona Island to spend the day on my dual passions of shooting video of trains and macrophotography of insects. During the time I was there a total of 6 CSX freights passed by, many insects and spiders were photographed, and about a dozen of the highly invasive Spotted Lanternflies got squashed. Lucky day for me, not so luck...

    I knew the Texas Eagle did not go from El Paso to Bowie, Texas. The closet that comes is at my hometown Fort Worth Amtrak Station but I went along with it. Bowie is about 69 miles nnw of Fort Worth and no train service. And someone said you must have meant the Sunset limited. And in California it’s called Bowie Flats. Anyway, nice ride no matter where it was going. Back in the 1960s when I was in the Marines I rode the train from san Francisco or Los Angeles to Fort Worth several times. Still a long deserts ride. It doesn’t get green until about 150 miles west of Fort Worth. Then that prairie, my southern prairie, got to be the most beautiful spot on earth.

    Thank you! Very enjoyable. Several times through the years I had ridden Amtrak from North Texas to California and back. This section of the line is always interesting. One time going through here the area was getting a light dusting of snow. Also, I had driven this route as well. Interesting to take the highway via Columbus, NM and Douglas, AZ to see the remains of SP's former EP&SW line (also known as the "South Line"). Some of SP's passenger trains utilized the South Line as opposed to all going via Lordsburg, NM.

The southernmost part (that runs compass E-W) is operated by Lycoming Valley Railroad. I believe the middle part is now a rail trail.
