Chasing Big Blow turbines up Weber Canyon with my dad.
Being able to walk around in the refueling facility in Ogden. I just wish I'd been old enough to really notice what we walked past!
The Rio Grande Zephyr.
UP's power in the classic days: DD35s, DD40s, Omaha 20s, SD24s, GP30s (and B units).
Watching the D&RGW Prospector leave Salt Lake around 5 PM.
Listening to D&RGW trains going south out of Salt Lake. From up on the hill, you could hear it whistle for crossing after crossing as it worked its way south down the valley.
