Train Day - Cienega Bridge Vail, AZ

Catching up on some of our trip.  We are into our third week and sitting in Grant, NM.  We'll try to catch up in the next few days on the end of the second week.  Today I'm adding a few pictures from our Train Day and our trip through Tucson, AZ where most of our family has resided at one time or another.
