Viewing Album:  2022 BSMRM Trip to Texas
 
By:Jay Epstein
Dates:6/15/2022 - 6/18/2022
Album Info:Every year a bunch of guys from the Bay State Model Railroad Museum (bsmrm.org) take a week long railfanning trip somewhere in the USA. This year we went to the Houston, Texas area with the main goal of seeing some KCS action before the CP merger. Along with KCS we saw plenty of UP and BNSF action as well. Enjoy!
