How About Some Train Photos?
Apr. 25th, 2015 10:57 amI've continued to take photos of trains passing through Fernley, but the last few weeks have been a bit intense and I've not had a lot of time to write about them.
( Special Amtrak Paint Scheme )
I wish I'd been quicker on the uptake this morning when the westbound Zephyr passed Fernley, as there were five private cars on the rear of the train.
( Not Just Armour Yellow )
"Little BN" (the local serving Fernley-area industries) dropped off ex-Santa Fe 158 yesterday before heading back to Sparks as a single light-engine move. 158 is presumably due for its 90-day inspection and thus has to be hauled by "Big BN" to an actual BNSF facility in trade for another unit, as the local normally operates with two units coupled tail-to-tail to facilitate switching.
( ETA: Close-up of a Fading Warbonnet )
It's raining here today, for which I'm glad, as with luck that means more snow in the Sierra and any dent we can make in the drought is good. I'm mostly staying inside and catching up on work that had been pushed aside by Puppygate.
