There are 3 mile long tunnels a short distance from Branson, both on the north and south end. I have taken some nice photos around these areas.

As long as that moisture is a frozen white powder let him have all he want. Just as long as he keeps it up there. When I find my snow icecream recipe I am going to post it for him as he has never had snow icecream. Since I live in Arkansas I don't use it much [:D] . And that is the way I like it. [:D]

Missouri!!!

Close to UP (MP/Cotton Belt) through Illmo (have spent many enjoyable hours in Scott City/Chaffee area with my son. Can hear the BNSF trains about 1/2 mile from my house in Cape G.

However, that cant beat my apartment back in St.Paul MN that overlooked and was about 75 feet from the former NP main (BNSF St. Paul) sub in St. Anthony Park. (that was almost 30 years ago....saw NP, GN, and those new BN green locos!)
Walt 10 miles from Rockview, Mo...45+UP/15BNSF trains per day!
