<P mce_keep="true">I was in Alpine, Texas last week for some cycling. I go there two or three times a year. It is one of the most beautiful areas that I have ever seen, and it is great for cycling, i.e. relatively light traffic and wide shoulders.</P> <P mce_keep="true">As chance would have it, I happened to drift by the Alpine Station every day, a few minutes before the Sunset Limited was due to call at Alpine. Ok, I didn't just drift by, I was there by design. </P> <P mce_keep="true">Interestingly, every train was met by U.S. Border Patrol agents and Alpine Police officers. They went through the train looking for illegal immigrants and drug smugglers. On one occasion they pulled two guys off the train and went through their luggage. They must have found something because they put them in the back of the police car and whisked them away.</P> <P mce_keep="true">If the Sunset becomes a daily operation, it looks like the Alpine police and U.S. Border Patrol will be a tad busier.</P>
