Well, took my E on it's maiden Rocky Mountain voyage this weekend. Here's a couple of pics from the great trip we had.
Handles just fine on the inclines and white stuff. :D

Actually, the PC term is "differently Abled"

Don't be offended. It was politically correct for it's time.

But to avoid further distress to your kinder, gentler, modern senses... I won't reveal to you just how the creek got it's name. ;)

dang...that Fiji Blue is a nice bright blue. i LIKE it! =D

but I still love my SSM!
nice pics by the way!

Nice pics I still like the EPB better ... :lol:

There's an area here in Virginia named Licking Hole Creek. I wonder how it got it's name also. :shock:
Anyway, the pics look great Yoda.

Heh. I too like the EPB for city driving, but the fiji blue sure is purdy out in the snowy hills.

Another trip to Cripple Creek this past weekend! Great weather for hiking and riding the narrow guage.

Here's a pic of Epod trying to measure up to the Cripple Creek/Victor Colorado steam engine.

So the train can hold more passengers... but can I power my iPod from the coal furnace? No! So there! :)

Speaking of my iPod... I finally installed my "perfect" iPod mount. Gonna go post some pics of that now...

Also... I learned the story of WHY it's named Cripple Creek... As the tale goes, a cow ran down into this small creek and ended up breaking it's leg. So the cowboy rode down to get him, and ended up falling and breaking his arm, after which a local was heard to exclaim, "That is some cripple creek!" And the rest is history... (or at least a tall tale... you never know for sure out here in the West) :)

i swore i entered comment to this, cause i love the E next to the train like that.. that is an awesome pix.. thank you for sharing!

I can not wait for your Fiji to meet my Eternal Blue.. that will be cool!

PS love the story behind the name Cripple Creek, regardless if it is tale or truth.. still cute, and odds are probably true!
