HAPT in Monterrey, NL, Mexico

Hello to everyone from Monterrey. For my fellow HAPTers, the luck of the Apollo still holds. The travel agency at work booked me in a hotel here - Marriott Courtyard, rm 607. I just took these shots from my open hotel window as dusk beckons in Monterrey.

The KCS Mexico main line goes right down the street. This train created chaos; a popular sport here is to have horn blowing contests. This city rivals Boston for driving prowess. this is the perfect setting for the Wheelman!

Mexico..... it's a beautiful place to visit. Well, lastly I enjoyed weekend deals from Hawthorn Suites in just $79 for hotel reservations.

Unbelievable Luck! Look at what goes by when HE finds the KCS! All I ever got was the gray units.

Nice perch!

Welcome to HAPT's Railfan Adventures


The Hebron Any Power Team is actually just a bunch of fun-loving rail enthusiasts who enjoy photographing and chasing all things railroad with friends. This bunch of guys cover a lot of ground for a group based way up "nawth" in Maine. We also have friends scattered around the country who contribute well to our hobby. In fact, our name is derived from our actual friends in the Worcester Foreign Power Team, except that Hebron hasn't seen a train since the 1950's so we'll settle for "any power".

Welcome and enjoy the eclectic collections of the contributors. Maine idealizes "life in the slow lane" so we present this blog as an effort to share our less time sensitive findings and to add to our hobby.
