The Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad is a great little ride. The guy working in the engine shop let me roam around unsupervised which was quite fun.

Enjoyment somewhat dampened as my dad was meant to come through to see this, but didn't feel up to it this morning. Lovely to see this rare beast, but would have been better with dad

Currently enjoying seeing this magnificent steel dragon in Waverly: Tangmere, a Battle of Britain class, massive "slab side" mainline steam loco, currently hissing as she cools down after steaming here from York.

When I was a kid, I had a Britannia in my model rail set - dad and I used to set it up and run it together, so it was even more special to see the real thing in action, with my dad that day.

Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad by Debra Martz
A country road crossing to see the train on its journey traversing 64 miles between Chama, NM, and Antonito, CO. It crosses the borders of Colorado and New Mexico (USA states) 11 times as it chugs its way up and over the 10,015′ high Cumbres Pass.

Steam day at Summerlee, enjoyable wee wander round with dad. Especially liked the tiny Cadbury 's Chocolate steam powered lorry! My dad's having a chat with the chap the operator of that one

Full Steam Ahead by Debra Martz
We joined several other train enthusiasts chasing the train along its route through the New Mexico and Colorado mountains. Engine 484, along with several reddish-color passenger cars, departed from the Chama, NM depot en route to Antonito, CO. B&W conversion with some selective colors

We weren't riding the train today but joined several other train enthusiasts chasing the train along its route up the mountains of New Mexico and Colorado. Engine 484 and several passenger cars were leaving the Chama, NM depot at about 8:30 a.m.

A reminder that this year's vintage transport festival is soon upon us.

A vast assemblage of buses, classic cars, farm and military vehicles, traction engines, dancing, spares, ironmongery and the occasional ferret.

Always wonderfully friendly.
