Hi everyone, If I do not make any typos today, I have done well. I think I have outdone myself for the most unlikely or challenging location for making an update to the web page. If you are into metal (music, this is Saturday night/Sunday wee hours), then this perhaps outdoes the update from a tree stump across the tracks from Izaak Walton Inn. [We will not say anything about the insane AT&T charges from uploading files from the pay phone at Izaak Walton back on July 27, 2000. In retrospect, cutting back to five images per day would have been a good idea back then.] What am I saying.... You are much more likely to be a railfan than to share the same musical tastes as I do, so nevermind the above statement. The Tatoo Bar in Ft. Worth is a nice little hole in the wall, and at least it is across the tracks from a UP (former MP/T&P mainline) but Ft. Worth, Texas is not Glacier National Park / Essex, Montana. Make haste to reserve yourself a trackside room this summer at Izaak Walton Inn while BN green still exists, and be sure to bring a camera and some Kodacrome 25 if you can still find some. If you mainly intend to shoot action (like most people do when railfanning Marias Pass) then perhaps Fuji Provia 100F would be a better choice. OK, enough film manufacurer, lodging, and musical entertainment venue advocacy. Enjoy these photos by Curt Jans, and run out and take some pictures next time the sun is out if you are in BNSF territory! Cascade green motive power would be nice, but this is 2002, so repaints are welcome as well, at least to some BN fans, myself included. How fitting. As I walk out of this fine establishment, I am entertained by the passing ot a UP freight. Not BN or BNSF, but at 2:00am, I won't complain. Enjoy, Charles |
