Recently on the history channel Richard and Liam watched a programme Mega Movers where the moved several train related objects. One was a large steam train Santa Fe 5000 nick named the Madame Queen.
Liam has been looking for her.
I hadn't really been watching the programme so was vaguely aware of needing to find this train.
Today we were driving down Altavista Street when Liam spotted a train 'It's the Madame Queen' he declared. I hadn't seen the train - like the elephant hidding in the trees it was obvious but invisible. I looked again in the rearview mirror and sure enough a large locomotive in a park by the road.
Later after collecting Richard we stopped at the park, Madeline was interested in swings and slides, Liam and Richard went to find out about the train. It's actually Santa Fe 5030 and is larger than Santa Fe 5000. This fact does not waver Liam from his desire to see the Madame Queen, guess there's a trip to Amarillo, TX in our future. Google tells me its only 5 hour 3minutes from here.

We have about twelve months on contract in Santa Fe, New Mexico this is a record of what we found there. The journey has continued and now we have ventured to Victoria in British Colombia, Canada. We're still going and are back in the USA in Salem Oregon
