kevin_standleeDuring Lisa's trip home, I was distracted from posting about much of anything else; however, I did take some pictures. A few days ago, while driving home from Walgreens, I saw some maintenance of way vehicles on the tracks, and they were just passing the house when I got home.
First was this road-rail truck.
Followed by this one. I think but cannot be sure, that this is a weed sprayer, laying down spray to keep the right of way from getting overgrown with tumbleweeds and other growth.
I'm not exactly sure what that tank truck was, and I did not want to get any closer lest it spray me. Incidentally, in response to a comment on a recent post, I used Google Maps to measure how far away the tracks are. From the front gate to the main line is about 80 m. The nearest of the two house tracks (the sidings where the Fernley Depot used to be) is about 50 m away.
