Didn't make the left at Albuquerque, I see.

That is the very first thing I thought of when I saw the picture and I thought it in Bugs Bunny’s voice. ? ?

Memories.  The railroad tracks, multiple, parallel a major divided highway from my hometown to the capitol city.  

Driving down the highway we would wind up either pacing or racing the train going the same direction.


The train typically was traveling 70 mph and so we had it as a challenge to the cars on the road.  It added interest to a boring drive.

Opportunities still exist to pace trains. Mostly freight now, but there are passenger excursions from time to time to pace - especially those run by museums.
