Today, there was a train, and I was on it.
Early start time meant that I _completely_ forgot to grab my second layer of clothing and wind-breaker. On the plus side, the rain that I figured was coming due to sudden high winds and cloudy day most of the day waited until _after_ I was off the train. I succeeded in not purchasing a $30 polar fleece blanket from the concessions car, though.
Was in an open-air car, facing the side of the train. V cool, other than the chilly aspect; I sort of spaced on grabbing clothing while getting out of the car, and had forgotten that the train would be going up almost 3000 feet and I was already chilly at night in the Durango-level altitude.
Very pretty trip, and Silverton is interesting in a 'nice to visit but I do not _ever_ want to live there' kind of way. And the people on the train were entertaining with their stories and such, as well.
Took many, many pictures. Deleted many of those. :) It's much harder to get good pictures while moving, so I ended up just taking a million pictures rather than trying to decide what would turn out well and what would not. I probably deleted 3/4 of the pictures I took.
