Gary Payton's BNSF photo is taken from I- 40 looking NW toward the control point MARMON which is about halfway between Albuquerque and Grants, NM.

And it is currently a dead heat for the lead.... This race could go to any one of these four horses out front!

     I liked the one by Bryan Bechtold.  It reminded me of a Far Side cartoon in need of a caption.  How 'bout: "As all that horsepower was out on the railroad keeping America's economy humming, Joey could only watch from the corral, hoping someday to be an NS thoroughbred, or at least star in a Budweiser Super Bowl commercial someday".

Thanks to Chris / CopCarSS for my avatar.

Yes, Gary has a nice shot, but that sure didn't look like anything near Tucumcari.

Thanks for your input, diningcar - I think you're right. I must have misremembered, as the politicians say! Gary Payton
