I don't think the Sesquicentennial is in the cards for me. It's way too far of a drive from here in Georgia. I might do Cheyenne if I can convince my British railfan buddy to make the trip and share the driving. He's a bit of an odd duck though. He has a very narrowly focused interest in trains. He's what they refer to as a "basher". His practically sole interest is to amass as many miles behind each of Amtrak's P42s as possible. (I couldn't care less about Amtrak or any modern passenger locomotives at all. None of them can hold a candle to an E8 or a PA in the looks department.) He doesn't like steam or electrics. He calls them "teapots" and "wire-scrapers". He has even called my beloved GG1 "ugly". If it weren't for our mutual fanaticism over Monty Python, I'd probably have nothing to do with him.
