Welcome to another Theme Day here on CDP, this month's theme is Public Transportation. Here at the Santa Fe train depot we have an old 1950's Santa Fe Southern Railway "Dome Car." In the older days of train travel this would have been considered traveling first class. Travelers could enjoy the view sitting in the "dome" while other dined below. Every now and then I see this car go by my work usually full of tourist on a short trip to the historic Lamy station.

Oh yes, what a beautiful train. They don't make 'em like this anymore. A lovely post.
Travel by train is mostly pleasant, when you can do it relaxed and appreciating nice landscapes...
God bless you!

I'd be up it that dome looking at the sights and taking photos I guess.
I'd be one of those tourists given half the chance! Love the way you caught the dome with Santa Fe written on it and oh that sky! Typical All Saints weather here: dreary!
Beautiful old train.
Always liked this kind of trains!
Sure wish we had better rail service. This was, and is, such a great way to "enjoy the ride."
Nothing is like the old days. Good photo!
I'm so glad that this train is still in use!
Cool! One day I'm going to be a tourist & take that train ride! :)
Great Theme Day post--superb photo. Mine is up at Portland Oregon Daily Photo; it’s a photo that I took on the MAX Light Rail last Saturday.
Beautiful train! Have you ever been inside? I'd love to be one of the tourists that have the chance to go on that shor trip!
superbe ce train, il fait penser aux vieux gris français
I haven't seen one of those cars in ages! I used to love to see them going by.
I remember taking the train from Vancouver back to Toronto and spending time up in the dome through the Rockies. Fabulous way to travel but time-consuming!
I love old trains. This one is fabulous. I must make a mental note to ride on it if I ever get to Santa Fe.
Fooled me. I thought you'd have a photo of the railrunner. Tomorrow's the big day. Under the knife at noon.
Love the train! Some day I'd love to cross Canada on Via Rail!
That is a great design! Very cool entry.
Great choice for today!
Wow! What a fantastic shot. Love the rail, love the sky, love the clouds.
Hope you have a great start to your week!
Many thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comment. Come visit again tomorrow!
Very classy. :)
Fantastic vintage train. I love that!
As a kid I owned a Santa Fe to Somewhere Else toy train, I'm glad to see a real one now!
Wow, the clouds look amazing in this shot!
