Alamosa, Colorado - the “Alamosa Train Depot” was filled with an assortment of retired train engines and assorted retired train cars … one engine had an open door which was challenging me to enter - such a cool experience … I didn’t accept the challenge to access the engine area 🙄 - looked a bit dark and I was not that curious … entering & exiting the engineer’s compartment using the ladder was a bit challenging in my slippery “Chuck’s” but so worth it 👍 … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabTrains #Trains #rabFavoriteMemory #rabAlamosaCO #rabColorado #Colorado Friday 12.16.22 (at Alamosa Train Depot) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmRt6BdplyU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Las Vegas, New Mexico - ARTist “Janice” mentioned a train roundhouse but I discovered it by accident … Google knew nothing about a Las Vegas train roundhouse - it is because now the 34 train roundhouse has been turned into storage units - so sad 😣 … a truck parked in front of it JUST as I arrived I grumbled about the truck messing up my pick … well, my grumble turned into “thank the pARTy Gods” … I would not have known about the storage unit conversion, if not for the truck opening the doors that gave me look inside - and caused me to peek in the other units … I learned where some of the Plaza hung out during the day 🙄 … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabTrains #Trains #rabPartyGodFind #rabWestwardHo2022 #rabLasVegasNM #rabNewMexico #NewMexico Monday 11.28.22 (at Las Vegas, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clh6zXnLwz-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
