April 2008 railfanning trip to CO, NM, AZ

Here in this gallery are pictures of my spring 2008 trip. It includes the SFRH&MS mini-meet at the La Posada Harvey House in Winslow, AZ and the results of the railfanning trip I did together with my friends Bud Klumph and Paul Brown along the BNSF trancon.

More pictures of the Winslow event can be found on Brian Kreimendahl's pbase website:
