Lots of busy-ness in my non-model railroading life--packing our youngest off to college, big changes at work, family visiting--has caused a several month hiatus at Up Dunes Junction. But this post marks the end to that hiatus, and I thought I'd include some photos of trains I've bumped into on my travels over the past few months.
