A Patchy Locomotive

During our western journey on the California Zephyr, we of course saw other trains. Some of them were once common but are now fading away, including the one I photographed as we passed through Sparks Yard. (We made a brief stop there as well, dropping off railroad crew members who were deadheading from Winnemucca to Sparks.)

I have spotted this artifact of a memory of a thirty-year-old railroad merger operating on Union Pacific local jobs operating through Fernley out of Sparks. How long it will be here, I don't know.
