Nowadays, the only passenger trains are UP or BNSF executive fleet trains. (Both railroads share the tracks.) here’s a UP train at one of the Tehachapi tunnels, on the same day as Nancy Reagan’s funeral, just over the hill in Simi Valley. It rained like crazy that day.

I have West, and East Glacier photos in my kitchen. The West Glacier photo shows a train streaking over the park entrance after a station stop.

I remember it well!

Fun times.

Next time listeners clamor for more cheese talk, I’m here to advocate for Cougar Gold @juliemason.bsky.social It’s an aged, sharp, white cheddar produced by the Washington State University at Pullman. It’s kind of weird that it comes in a can, but don’t be fooled. It’s delicious. Kind of pricey, too
