Austin Area Terminal |
| Description: |
This caboose was sitting-with, of all things, an ex LIRR P 72-at the Llano Texas welcome center, a recreation of the Austin & Northwestern station in that town. The Austin Area Terminal, a WATCO operated line that runs from here to Austin, then on to Giddings, seems to be the current owner, but the LHRR mark on the end belong to the Longhorn RR. I could find a site for the Longhorn & Western, at the Texas Transportation Museum, who had it prior. |

Of all things |
| Description: |
Commuter coaches, especially if theyre in good shape, make good excursion train cars. Sometimes they roam far and wide after their initial careers in high density service. Imaging my surprise, however, at finding this ex LIRR P 72 on a siding in Llano Tex, of all places. It doesnt look like its going anywhere anytime soon, and its a long way from Ronkonkoma. |

Highway hijinks |
| Description: |
I was heading north on I 35 near Valley View, Tex, where the tracks are adjacent to the interstate. I saw this southbound coming toward me, grabbed the camera, held it up and fired. Came out pretty well, Id say!! |
