Toy Train?
It certainly looks like a Toy Train.
Way out in the Boondocks.
I looked up Boondocks.
Didn’t know we got it from Filipinos! Most Probably brought back by GIs’.
The boondocks is an American expression that stems from the Tagalog word bundók ("mountain"). It originally referred to a remote rural area, but now it is often applied to an out-of-the-way city or town considered backward

Very cool picture.
Our town's in a remote rural area of the West Virginia mountains and it's considered backwards. I guess that means we live in the boondoks.

Not a toy. Cumbres & Toltec runs in northern NM/southern CO. It's a great ride through beautiful countryside.

Took that picture as the Train was approaching the Osier Station, which is the lunch stop up in the Beautiful Rio Grande National Forest.
Here’s one as it nears closer to Osier.
Osier, Colorado - Wikipedia
