TRAINS Magazine announced today it will publish its second All-Cow issue. The first had been published years ago under Editor David P. Morgan.

A spokesperson for the magazine said the decision came from the positive feedback from the two-page photo spread in April, 2005 TRAINS of four cattle in a barnyard scene with WMSR 734 in the background.

The magazine is especially seeking photos of bovines in pastoral or barnyard settings with rail activities.

Phil,

You know that H. Reid shot "Milking Time on the Graham County" is just 50 feet down the hall in the DPM Library, and is calling my name.. mooo!

Just wait 'til later this summer...

I had to shoo cows off the track of the Graham County RR more than once, and I recall the Cumbres & Toltec making an emergency stop when several cows attempted to share the right-of-way with #487. Cows indeed!

That is Carlos "Twinky" Llamas in the hot seat of #484 last September.

My question is this: Are the editors of Trains looking for photos of EMD Cow and Calf locomotives in pastoral settings? Seems like I'd get double credit for the all cow issue.
