    Wow. I just added a new destination on my Bucket List, as there are a few things I'd love to see. The CB&Q #9908 "Silver Charger," the Big Boy loco #4006, and others, would be very cool. I also want to see the Chrysler Turbine car.

    one more cool looking train and then it was time for the jefferson expansion memorial or the st louis arch. yes that is actually the dodge from the top of the arch. looking up that little line is where you lay on the inside of the building and snap your pic. next destination was the speedway motors american museum of speed . some really neat stuff
