From the car
Title:  From the car
Description:  On a trip to California in April 2015, we stopped to visit some old friends in Belen NM. It was decided wed go to dinner in Albuquerque, and took off in their car. We were riding in the back seat, when we caught up to this Rail Runner train at Los Lunas. Diane got it with her phone. Pretty good, Id say.

Mixed meet
