What is everyones favorite experience chasing a train? Is there just one, or is there a couple that you are fond of?
Mine, I got two that come to mind.
The first, I was 11 years old when I was with my dad and my Uncle chasing the Challenger from Milpitas to Stockton during the convention in San Jose on my dad's birthday in 1992. Then chasing the 4449 to Sacramento during the same convention.
Then when I was a little older, while visiting my Uncle in the central valley with my dad we went to Tehachapi. At the end of a fun day watching trains, we caught a SP freight heading towards Bakersfield. We saw it at Walong, then caught it at Bealville. Then again at Caliente, and then paced it along the Edison Highway before heading home. It was a lot of fun.
Any thoughts?
