    Sorry about my poor editing ablity as I have yet to figure out how to get a 9Meg picture down to under 100k. Hope you like them as I had a great time. The first shot was taken from the road going up Hilgard Canyon if you want to call it a road. More like a goat trail if you ask me. The second shot was taken while I was sitting on a ledge about 100ft above the tracks.

    Michael, I took the liberty of reposting those pics, to lareger size.
    They sure look good! The Blues are a sweet place to railfan, and gorgeous, too.
    Thanks for sharing!
    Got any more?

    Nice views. The fresh Spring greenery makes a great setting for pictures.

    One of the cool things about the Blues is the use of DPU's. This time I did not catch any but did catch one train with 6 units up front which was just about as cool. As you can tell the exhaust is standing straight up.

    Hope you all like the pictures as much as I do.
