Three more on Donner last weekend

Friends:

I have three more trains from last weekend. I went with Ken Compton and his son Zach who know the hill better than I do. This is the first time I shot on the hill in decades. It was fun going there and I look forward to doing more, especially since that's where the trains are these days. Any comments, notes, corrections and especially - train numbers - are appreciated!

Photo One: Feb. 13, 2010 1:40 p.m. - A GEVO 7617 leads a westbound stack train that snuck up on us as we were setup for an eastbound at Baxter, CA.

Photo Two: Feb. 13, 2010 2:16 p.m. - An eastbound reefer train, 8456 and 5086 at Baxter, CA. This is one of three trains we saw at this location over a short period of time.

Photo Three: Feb. 13, 2010 4:20 p.m. - A westbound stack train with 5291 is shown heading onto the double track at Emigrant Gap, CA
