The Argon Express: Whitefish, Montana
I was only able to catch a short conversation with Robby this morning as the train was preparing to depart Whitefish, Montana. They should be rolling along the southern edge of Glacier National Park soon. I didn’t get much of an update on what the guys have been up to on the train, but I will keep you posted as I get more information.
It’s been just about 16 hours since the bulk of the group left Portland. Be sure to check out our Argon Express photoset and the Argon Express group photo pool for hot rails on rails action.
We're moving...

This should be pretty fun… and I’ll try to take a ton of photos and share any interesting stories from the trip.
I expect to do a lot of reading, writing in my personal journal, talking shop with many of these people, and enjoying the sights. :-)
