What an excellent picture. I would absolutely love to have a copy of this. Not only does it have the train in it but also the beautiful rolling hills that I so miss. I loved looking out the window from my little room-ette and from the vestibule of the train most of the trips. It was much better than driving as far as visuals go.

Darlene, you can get in touch with photographer that took the picture to get a copy. The information to do that is at the bottom of the photo. You just have to enlarge the picture to be able to read the information at the bottom. Good Luck!

DARLENE: To further re-live your experience, go to YouTube and type in Ringling train. You'll find a number of videos of the train--including this one, which was shot at the famous slow curve in the Tehachapi Mountains. Enjoy.

When we were there the train was sometimes referred to as "The Great White Hope".
I never bothered to ask why.

That expression dates back

to when the entire train

was painted white maybe

in the late 60s & I'll

send you a photo of the

Hickory Creek in white
