A Train Ride!

Well folks Ty and I had a great date night last night! We went up to Santa Fe and rode on the Santa Fe Southern RY. This was my first time on a train and really loved it. Ty said he had fun too. We drove pretty fast to make sure we made it after Ty picked me up at my work. Drove to Chocolate Maven in Santa Fe to bring a little treat for the ride. Holy Cow is Santa Fe very packed, meaning no room for parking. We luckily found some free underground parking and made it on the train just in time, phew! Our ride took us through Santa Fe and then headed due south for about an hour.




The seats in this train were so cool! You could flip the back of the seats to face whatever way you wanted. So some people with big groups could face each other or you could put your feet up.

This is when the Rail Runner passed us. This train goes back and forth from Santa Fe to Albuquerque.

The coolest part about this train is that they had this open area you could go to outside. We stood out there most of the way out to our destination. The train was probably moving around 20-25 mph so it wasn't too bad standing outside.


The boards we were standing on.

This picture doesn't do the view we had any justice at sunset.

Cute! What a fun date night! Trains are so neat. Why don't we bag it and revert back to traveling by trains? I LOVE the last picture. Great photography skills right there!
