WOOHOO! Good weather = time to build

When I was a wee lad and my parents took me on road trips to points east, the santa fe scheme was probably my second least favorite (southern pacific being my least favorite). It really had nothing to do with the scheme; it had to do with that santa fe territory was HUGE and I longed to see something different. When I saw the blue and yellow warbonnet, it meant we hadn't gotten very far. I would always get more excited to see the BN green or the MKT, and then the chessie system and norfolk southern. It meant we were finally someplace new. Now I look at BNSF and cry for the old santa fe warbonnet, as in my memory that blue and yellow is now one of my favorite historical paint schemes.
