Hi All, hope you are enjoying Christmas....

I live in Australia and model BNSF. And was looking on 'Google Earth' for some of their rail yards.
Does anyone in the US know the best places to look? and as I don't live in your fantastic country you might need to spell it out for me...LOL

Many Happy Returns to you all. And have a good New Year!!![:o)]
