A Day on "The Stormy"

A day shooting trains on UP's Lordsburg Sub produced the following images. Wilcox Playa is a (currently) dry lakebed with what appears to a be a public road across it. Fine when it's dry, but on the rare occasions when it's wet, it turns in to a foot or so of very clingy mud! Not recommended when wet!!
