Here are a couple taken in Deming NM by my 5 year old grandson Gavin and a picture of him in the cab of the southwestern loco in the picture.
The engineer was just on his way home and asked if the boys wanted to take a tour of the two locomotives. The BNSF is on the rear of a coal drag going from the Four Corners to Tucson. It is just heading from BNSF tracks to UP trackage to go to Tucson.They are trailing units.

No , the engineer was on his way home but he might have gotten to if the gentleman had some time. They were parked and shut down at the time.:thumbsup:

Thanks Mike

5 year old grandson?

In 11 years:

Most kids -- "Dad, can I borrow the keys to the car?"

Your grandkid -- "Gramps, can I borrow the keys to the locomotive?"

;)

Yeehaaaaaa!!!

John , I think the engineer may have let him if they had been running at the time.

Thanks , Mike
