Het leukste loc-je! van de hele wereld zag ik afgebeeld op een verouderde poster aan een wand van het stationnetje in Jamestown (CA). Laat je er over vertellen door reuze enthousiaste vrijwilligers bij Railtown 1897.

De webcam in Flagstaff (AZ)
 die dit beeld heeft geproduceerd, zou ik graag opsnorren.

Dit beeld lijkt misschien wat saai, maar in enkele uitgerangeerde oude wagons bij
het Barstow station (CA) kun je gemakkelijk wat eten én leuke souveniers shoppen.
