BarstowRick Not sure where you went. We did see a couple BNSF running with stacked and auto racks. BoxcabE50 South was a half right choice. We seen some areas where one of BNSF predecessor ran.
The Rock Island now under Union Pacific control but once controlled by the Southern Pacific, with traffic rights exercised by the BNSF. Kansas City Missouri?
To day's drive took us through some open areas of rock and scrub with only about one road going where we wanted.
BNSF predecessor......south......rock & scrub.....one place springs to mind- the Big Bend country of west Texas, along the old KCM&O line.
Friscobob Your close wrong state we passed by over on our way to the first tourist stop the big hole then drove here. What a drive.
Then. going one state west, we would have New Mexico. THAT state has a boatload of scrub and rock, especially along I40 west of Albuquerque.
Spent the day ridings on a city tour bus. Sure glad to let some one else drive up and down the narrow busy streets. Even seen some big ships proud of them men today as always. Friscobob Your getting closer but I can't see you yet.
Big ships?? My thought currently is, New Orleans, LA. Around the area of Camp Leroy Johnson. Unless I'm too far in the wrong direction!!
Big ships? The direction you've been heading, gotta be west coast. Maybe big ships, such as container haulers? Long Beach, CA?
Oh no boxcabE50 is closing in ! The rest of you will have to hurry to California. I will save some dole bananas for you. Today we seen alot of animals.
Dole Bananas - Westlake Village, CA? Near Thousand Oaks, CA? Another thought was Aquarium of the Pacific, in Long Beach, CA. Plenty of big ships around there, at Terminal Island. Just a wild guess though.
Congratulations goes out to boxcabE50! We are having a ball sightseeing! Today we seen the USS Midway what a ship! Shook some service men's hand with a thank you!
