I had a few days off so I made the 3 hour drive up to Reno to get away for a bit. There is some good train watching around the area...
The first couple of days had some good clouds around the mountains, that work very nicely to diffuse direct sunlight. I caught Amtrak #6, the eastbound Zephyr at Verdi heading down into Reno.
It had two UP executive coaches on the rear, the Stanford and the Sunset.
The next morning I took a spin out to Fallon along US 50, and paced this single engine running light at about 70mph eastward...That's the Truckee River in the background
I guess it was heading to one of the mining operations, but who knows, I lost sight of it after a bit
At Fernley NV I caught site of short little inspection train with this data car putting along
Down the road at Hazen NV the train had picked up speed and passed by doing I'm guessing 79
There was a small local idling at Hazen as well. The first picture looks like it was miniaturized, I'm guessing it's the effect of a long lens wide open and a fast exposure.
More to come from my trip away from the east bay...
