We went out to Lamy, NM a few weeks ago to pick up our friend Stephanie who was arriving from NYC by train. She's doing a documentary about the
Southwest Chief, a train that I have traveled on a few times myself.
I love going out to the train station. It's the
original station which was built in 1880s. And there are just so many things to photograph out there.

Old rail cars.

The train tracks and the mountain views.

And watching the train arrive still makes me excited. It also makes me want to go somewhere by train myself!
I should probably go hang out at the train station more often. It's always so inspiring.
[Ha! I see that I said practically the same thing
three years ago!]
