If God had meant for us to fly, he wouldn't have given us the railways. -- Unknown
I am totally captivated by the Rail Runner and can't wait to take it to Albuquerque to visit that city, too. I get a buzz whenever I travel on a railroad...guess it reminds me of childhood trips. When I lived in Chicago as a young adult, instead of flying I often took the train between Green Bay, WI and the Windy City. Amtrak just doesn't do it for me so it'll be interesting to see how I like the Road Runner, Rail Runner!
il a un superbe design moderne, qui fait un beau contrasme avec la gare ;)
ReplyDeleteEasy to spot! Creative and colorful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a marvel it is, very pretty looking train :)
ReplyDeleteLove Is In The Air, Love Is In Nature
And with such a perfect name :)
ReplyDeleteI like these typical American trains. Wonderful details. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteAn idea whose time has come again. Instead of throwing all that money into roads, spend some on the rails. No one will be able to afford gas in a few years.
ReplyDeleteIf there is a rail link to the Albuquerque airport it would be a popular way to get to Santa Fe.
ReplyDeleteJulie and I were away in Tanzania for the past two weeks, so we have been unable to respond to the comments you have left for us, and I am sorry you had trouble with leaving a comment on her Scottsdale site.
We changed planes in Minneapolis-St. Paul yesterday and thought of you. Don't worry, there is still plenty of snow on the ground up there, judging from the views flying in and out.
That is a pretty dramatically painted train.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful job they did with this design! I went on a cross country train trip with my mother when I was only three, and I never forgot that trip. I took my own three-year old son on a train trip from Washington state to California, and never forgot that exhaustion! I still prefer train travel to what has become of flying, though.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these colorful photos. They've obviously connected a lot of people with their fond rail memories.
There is nothing like a good train! There is talk of a high speed rail line here, but I'll be surprised if it ever comes to pass.
ReplyDeleteI think you'll enjoy the Rail Runner...It looks great!
If it is like it looks outside, it has to be an excellent train! Let us know...
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun decoration for that train. I like it. It should be a great ride, and not all that far either.
ReplyDeleteI like train travel best of all. This train looks like it would be a thrill to ride anywhere on. I would take it as soon as possible if I were you.
ReplyDeleteI love this train too! There's rumor that it will eventually run up to Raton, connecting us to the rest of the New Mexican world. I cannot wait for this to come to fruition. Keeping my fingers crossed. :)
ReplyDeleteI never tire of seeing a train, in a station or whizzing by with freight or people. When I lived in Chicago I always tried to decipher the graffiti.
ReplyDeleteNice photos!
I love the Railrunner! When you ride it make sure to sit on the second level for the best view. It's wonderful when you ride through the pueblo.
ReplyDeleteLove that roadrunner!
ReplyDeletea sleek looking locomotive.
