Greatest show on Mars.
Eventually I will type up a long synopsis on this week, but will summarize it here by saying don't wait! The stuff you want to see wont be around forever, buy the plane ticket, rent the hotel, and go see it! Soon after clearing the storage yard at Oxy far in the distance, the engineer has all 5 of his sun beaten locomotives in the corner as they start up the stair step grade that will soon have the train down on its knees. You can see the rear of the train trailing down the hill while the head end has started up another step as they climb higher and higher. In this god forsaken land, the temp is hovering around 106 degrees and there's not another soul around. I had high hopes when I arrived, but seeing this train in the distance for miles before they got to me was a hell of an experience. Thankfully luck went my way for most of the trip. It was truly an amazing time. Major thanks goes to Mike Savona, Khang Lu, and Enrique C. who answered all of my seemingly endless questions about this fantastic railroad operating in the shadow of Death Valley.
