Editor's Note - Please send newsworthy photos to trainnews@att.net, please include name, location and narrative so folks know what, where and why it is newsworthy. Thank you to those who have sent pics, I wonder if some folks in the Eastern US or oversees can send some for added interest.

Ex GM&O now the privately owned "Patron - Tequila Express" at Denver Union Station for the Democratic National Convention on Aug 22, 2008. There were several other private cars as well including two from the Union Pacific and the Rio Grande Ski Train.
