    SP 5623 Crossing Under the UP at Verona

    Happy 4th 🇺🇸 In a somewhat rare move today, Niles Canyon Railway ran east of Sunol to the Happy Valley Road over crossing (east end of trackage). Caught it crossing under the UP at Verona and returning at Hearst Junction. The train then ran without stopping at Sunol to Niles and back.

  5. Roseville to Warm Springs Manifest (MRVWS)

    Roseville to Warm Springs Manifest (MRVWS)

This photo was taken from an overpass which conveniently had a hole in the chainlink fence.

    Rodeo, CA - Bayside Amtrak and UP Action

    Here is the result of some afternoon railfanning along San Pablo Bay in Rodeo, CA. This is Lone Tree Point, an East Bay Regional Park. It's a safe and interesting place to view trains. As always, feedback and comments are welcome. Enjoy!
