OK..this is going to take a little time so please allow.

Several pictures to post giving you a little look at the great state of Arizona.

I am a locomotive engineer for the BNSF Railway. I run from Needles California to Winslow Arizona on the Seligman Subdivision. The route is 295 miles and starts at 500 feet above sea level to the highest point on the old Santa Fe, Reardon, which is 7400 feet.

The trips are long to say the least.

First picture is leaving Needles going East to Winslow, AZ.

I own an orthopaedic bracing company specializing in spinal orthotics. Also get into extremity orthotics and have just lately started distributing bone growth stimulators. I just kinda fell into this in my 3rd year of medical school and decided after finishing, that a long residency and working as a junior physician in someone's practice wasn't for me. So, took my education and now I am my own boss. Will probably sell my business in the next 2 to 3 years and retire. Gotta live life while you can!

Canyon Diablo, Arizona. There is an old building made out of stone that use to be a Saloon back in the early days. Several gunfights and what not.

When they built this bridge they made another for a spare. Still have it back East.

Wow, Runeight!

With views like those, I bet the miles go by pretty fast. Really great pics too, whoever is snapping them has an artistic eye. Is that a meteor shower 3 pics up?
