I want at least one, and I don't mean the itty-bitty one I have in the basement, either.

But tell the truth - isn't a shame that those nice modern diesels need all that help just to run by a station?

WOW... just, WOW.

I lived in Cheyenne for 2 1/2 years and never got to see any of the Big Boys out and about. Sure wish I would have. Oh, and the Cheyenne Station is a real beautiful station. Very cool.

And for what it's worth, I LOVE Wyoming. If I were ever to move away from Alabama it would be to Wyoming or Colorado. :)
