On a recent road trip through New Mexico and Colorado, I stopped by Johnnie Meier's Classical Gas Museum on the side of the "low road" from Santa Fe to Taos, New Mexico. Such a fun place with rusty gas stuff everywhere. Great globes, signs, gas pumps and lots of interesting other stuff. Johnnie is friendly ambassador for the petroliana hobby. Be sure to stop by if you are in the area.

Bonus Pic. Later on our trip we took a ride on the historic Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. Here is a photo of a Wayne "Roman" gas pump in their museum. And a shot of our train going through the Highline Pass.

Thanks for the great pics and the effort. We are taking a road trip to Co. next summer and will be headed up I 25 by Angel Fire. Better tell the Ms. that there could be a detour.

Small world Jim. My grandpa was from Taos, New Mexico. I was there when I was a teenager.

I also have been on the Durango & Silverton train to Silverton and back. That is an excellent trip and I highly recommend it.
