Lincoln was the real prize of that crazy day, although Minden and Elkhorn were close. I was on the slightly later batch of supercells that went S. of Des Moines, but jumped the gun getting close to the base SW of Bedford and found myself playing catch-up the whole time, missing all the tornadoes.

The locomotives and diesel-hydraulic railcars on the Pikes Peak Cog Railway in Colorado, USA are Swiss-built. Third photo resembles them a bit.

Came in a bit too late for this one, but by chance that put me in the perfect spot for the handoff near Keota.

We'd already have rail service to Milwaukee and possibly Chicago and the Twin Cities if it weren't for this assclown.

Occasionally saw the CP units that were used for filming after they'd been painted back, but left with the "tiger stripe" plows. Of course I blew my only good opportunity to get one leading.
