Blasterz spent 45 minutes in Dilley, and got blasted by three trains.

The best place to see trains is in the shade of the gazebo at a small park downtowen along the I-35 business route.

More intrepid railfans will enjoy the sensory experience of the trains blasting by near the water tower, just a block away from the park. Blasterz greatly enjoyed the visceral impact of a UP freight thundering by at the track speed limit of 70 mph.
