Last night I discovered that one of my FB friends (who I have known since she was a teenager) lives ten miles North of the Union Pacific mainline in Nebraska. UP's smoke-breathing dragon was spending last night in North Platte before starting the final leg of its return to Cheyenne this morning. I messaged her with the schedule and asked if she could get photos, even suggested it would be a good excuse to have her boys develop a 'can't-go-to-school-today' virus..

Here's one of what I received. She says it was taken by her oldest son. I'll have to wish him a speedy recovery from his sudden illness.. ;-)

It went through at track speed which probably was 60mph so it was a quick photo grab. ;-)

Wow. Between the smoke-breathing dragon and the iris, I’m a little overwhelmed this morning. Double wow.
