I couldn't quite get the camera ready quick enough to get this classic '66 Farmall ton 4x4 complete with spotlights (probably an old fire truck) at Stuart. If I hadn't been in hot pursuit of a train I'd have chased this guy down and shaken his hand. By: Andy Brown

Money shot at Adair. Yes, I know, it's blurry. I figured it would be. Climing up out of this brush and weed infested cut just about did me in. By: Andy Brown

I spotted this outfit broken down (presumably) on the main east of Booneville; looks like some of LA Colo's steel gang equipment. By: Andy Brown
