Jan 25, 2012:
It was a pleasure to meet you guys (Don, Gary and Marc) up on the Hill today. I got a lot of new
information - especially from Marc - about the operation on Cajon Pass and I
was honored to see the waving Swiss flag on Hill 582. I appreciate that and
I would like to thank you for the hospitality you gave me at this
spectacular railfanning hot spot! It's nice to know that you have some other
"crazy guys" around the world with the same hobby. Michael Frei (MIF). Photo 2046 taken by GGG and 2047 taken by MIF. |
