Description
Here's what has become of passenger rail service in the USA. Not a lot of amenities but the passengers appear happy.
Hope you enjoy this. It was taken at a small park in Atchison, Kansas in June 2009.
Bill:)
Oh, And I needed a little red back in my gallery.

Must be a small branch line of the ATSF. :) Fun shot!
lol@auntie :)...Great shot Bill, at least you can smoke on this train!
LOL and choo choo--love the red!!
Great mood in this one. Very well done, Clive
Everyone looks so pleased!
Ah=h. at ;png last we see the Super Chief.
Neat capture....
Great shot, great fun. Don't have to go through the security checks, pay extra for baggage and it goes where you want it to go.
Adds a whole new dimension to "observation car" grin I like the angle of this shot.
Nice shot Bill!
Very nice capture of the family.
Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railway!!!! a piece of history! I wrote an article about it and the Laguna Pueblos. Great capture !!!!!
I love the POV at child's height! wonderful capture, but I'm sure that passenger service there is better than that in Italy. BTW I'm a fan of the Santa Fe Railway's history!
Looks like a fun ride. Great shot.
Super train & great character driving it. Red sounds good to me, my favourite colour.
This was a cool train. Z.Z. Top dude part two, driving it. His mate, of course was eating his Taco down a way! Lovely picture again. Rob.
the local rail museum is fixing to move to Frisco Texas and some of the locomotives has not been moved for 40 years. I hope to capture them moving
What fun~~~
Do you hear that whistle down the line? I figure that it's engine number forty-nine, She's the only one that'll sound that way. On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe... Stellar POV employed to capture the wonderful clarity, color and depth of this happy choo-choo and its smiling passengers, Bill!
wonderful train!!!!
So Sweet
This will make a real difference to the GDP, you will soon be out of the recession. Lovely capture.
yeah great fun capture, and lol I never think of my gallery like that, needing some colour in there to brighten things up. made me think.
Big boys and there toys! A train like this derailed the other day near me. 23 people were hurt.
oh this reminds me of my childhood, I loved to ride those...smile
Nice capture!
Happy Passengers is whats its alla bout!
A local park is home to a small gauge railway, mainly steam.I've always admired the enthusiasts who run these things.A small scale steam train is no easier to drive than a big one 'apparently'.Another great picture Bill, thanks.
We have a similar railway near us Bill. I am always amazed at the amount of love and care that goes into the whole experience, staffed entirely by volunteers. I still have to work out the best way to sit on it so my legs don't keep going to sleep. http://yfrog.com/5umvc473fjx
