Pueblo had the most beautiful old railway station, now disused
And they had their own big 4-8-4 "Northern" steam locomotive in the yard, which they hope to restore to running condition.
The museum has some interesting internal exhibits, including this Bicentennial diesel-electric loco.
And these little self-propelled service cars. I know they look like toys, but they were the real thing!
The next day, we planned to depart Pueblo north-east bound back towards Jim's home in Iowa, but not before some local military dropped in on a training exercise, so we waited for them.
After departing Pueblo, NE bound, we were definitely in the dry rain shadow of the Rockies. They have little precipitation here, so the ground is generally scrub for a few hundred miles. I get another chance to have a bit of low-level legal fun.
