Milepost 276

This afternoon, Lisa and I took advantage of a break in the weather, surprisingly good lighting (no direct sunlight due to the clouds), and no railroad traffic to go out and shoot material that will probably appear in future episodes of Railway Legends, Myths, and Stories. While doing so, I took this picture of Union Pacific milepost 276, which is effectively Fernley. Many of the photos you have seen me take from near the house are within a short distance of this milepost.

With this icon, I now have something to label the happenings around the small yard across from Fernley House, which was the site of Fernley's train station from the days when they had passenger service. The building itself was moved away from the railroad and currently is located on Main Street on the opposite side of the road from the tracks. It currently sits unused while the city decides what to do with it.
