Private Car in Passing

A couple of days ago, a private railroad car went by tacked onto the end of the eastbound California Zephyr. This happens fairly regularly, but I'm not always ready to take a photo.

This morning, running just a few minutes ahead of the westbound CZ was a UP freight transporting two sets of cars for Caltrain's electrified service. I went onto the porch, saw the train, reached for my phone that usually is on a belt pouch, and realized that I'd left the phone sitting on my desk.
