For the second year in a row, the perfect “event” for Matteo’s birthday was a rolling party on the Santa Maria Valley Railroad. And thanks to Trevor for taking the photos (conductors can’t do that). http://jf2.com/101113

All Aboard!
The rails of a railroad track are kept shiny on the top by the regular passage of trains. Thus, "To Shiny Rails" is the battle cry of my personal effort to keep railroading activities of all kinds available to as many people as possible. It's tantamount to exclaiming "Keep those trains a rollin'!". And with any luck at all, I'll personally be on as many of those trains as possible! To shiny rails, Jamie
