Steve, Excellent capture here. I have loved trains since I was 5 years old. My Grandfather Bokowski took me for a ride on a locomotive at a Union Pacific switching station in Omaha, Nebraska! There is also a railroad crossing just blocks from my home in Vail. I really enjoyed your description as well! FAV Jerry
