I love this stuff because it is real. The air is crisp at 10,000 feet, it is sunny one minute and raining the next. The smell of hot oil and steam gets buried in the heavy pall of drifting coal smoke. This railroad bed dates to 1880, and those locomotives have been traversing these very rails since the 1920's. Note the water tank looming over the train in the distance.
