The new(er) and the old. Originally I intended to spend Saturday chasing the Iowa Northern, but seeing as the skies were beginning to open up I opted for LNM34 instead. Unfortunately I had to end the chase here as storm clouds lingered just to the South, but I walked away with a few bucklist shots checked off.

Elephant Island is an ice-covered mountainous island off the coast of Antarctica in the outer reaches of the South Shetland Islands, in the Southern Ocean. Its name was given by early explorers sighting elephant seals on its shores. The island is situated 245 kilometres (152 mi) north-northeast of the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, 1,253 kilometres (779 mi) westsouthwest of South Georgia, 935 kilometres (581 mi) south of the Falkland Islands, and 885 kilometres (550 mi) southeast of Cape Horn.
The Chinstrap Penguin (Pygoscelis antarctica) is a species of penguin which is found in the South Sandwich Islands, Antarctica, Deception Island, the South Orkneys, South Shetland, South Georgia, Bouvet Island and Balleny. Their name derives from the narrow black band under their heads which makes it appear as if they are wearing black helmets, making them one of the most easily identified types of penguin. They live on barren islands and during winter congregate on large icebergs of the sub-Antarctic region and the Antarctic Peninsula; however, they require solid, snow-free ground for nesting. The chinstrap penguin's primary predator is the leopard seal. The 16 million chinstrap penguins have typical lifespans of 15–23 years. (wikipedia)
They are incredible mountaineers and nest on sites that appear to have vertical cliff faces to overcome to reach! How these guys manage to climb up these cliff faces is quite astounding. This colony is just to the east of Point Wild on Elephant Island.

The visitors center in North Platte, Nebraska plays host to the 8 story Golden Spike Tower. The 8th floor is enclosed and has a 360 degree view. The 7th floor, most popular, is open air and has a west to east view of the yard.
Pay the $7 fee, chat with a volunteer, run to the elevator and hit 7.
When you walk outside and see the yard it's overwhelming to say the least. I uttered "holy shit!".
Can you believe I forgot to go to the 8th floor!
If you are a trucker or have a large motor home, there is overflow parking right here where I am standing, it's gravel.
I have a lot of pics to put on of the yard over the next few days. It may end up being more than 30 when all is said and done. I'll never go back so why not.
This is a railfan bucklist item without a doubt.
Roadrunners are renowned for their incredible running speed, capable of reaching up to 20 miles per hour. On our Texas roadtrip, seeing a roadrunner was a bucklist item for me. This closeup encounter at our campsite was very exciting! #roadrunner #greaterroadrunner #bigbendnationalpark #texas #riograndevillagecampground #bigbendnps #bigbend #canyon #nationalpark
