Drew's shot at Yuba Gap is great so I thought I would share a couple of the same theme. One of these was my 2009 Christmas Card. About these photos, another photographer said, "That train was a Sparks section of Number Six (2/6) on February 16, 1974 (I made a copy of a slide of the train at 16th St and it was flying green flags??). Gas shortage kept motorists off I-80 then, so Amtrak put together a special train to Sparks, so the regular Number Six wouldn't be 30 cars long. All the equipment came off the Reno Fun Train pool. It was Presidents Weekend, so the equipment came back as 2/5 on Monday. UP958 led on Saturday and SP6453 on Monday, the 18th."
