Photo isn't at Cisco. Looks to be near Weimar, just north of I-80.
We got it leaving Roseville, Rocklyn station, Newcastle, Bowman, then for three hours in the rain at Colfax. Those with chains or four wheel drive continued the chase.
It is of my opinion, it will not make Truckee tonight. I understand the slide near shed 10 is on single track. The slide being 400 feet in length, 150 feet deep.(This I have heard, not seen for myself) Check out the Calrailfan.com site or TO for more up to date info.
Road conditions when I left Colfax at 3:30pm, eastbound 80 open to cars, NO TRUCKS(still being held at Applegate), single lane from Baxter to State line. No news on westbound traffic. One way or ta other, roads and rail will be a mess for a few days yet....
