[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 2551499, member: 7900"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]Over in General Discussion, a thread was begun by another OSA member with pictures from Colorado, New Mexico, and Oklahoma's Black Mesa area. Since I had managed to bring up the Durango/Silverton trains in a comment, I thought I'd put a few pictures here, especially since this thread was working its way to the bottom. I also didn't want to hijack his thread. In 2009, we rode this train from Durango to Silverton and returned on it as well. (Us photographers like to sometimes see the same views, but with different lighting from the afternoon sun instead of the morning sun.)
