Texas Landscapes

I'm sure that as large as Texas is, there must be some variation in terrain. However, this is exactly what I picture the Texas landscape as, when I think of Texas.

Wagon Top!

Note the unusual B&O wagon top boxcar at the lower right. These were unique to the B&O.

It really is that flat

I have been through here a bunch of times, the terrain around Amarillo really is that flat. It's almost uncanny. Makes Kansas look like the Swiss Alps.

Now I know

why people thought the world was flat. Those were my immediate thoughts when I got out of the plane on my first trip to Amarillo back in 1962.
