I think I got one train there Drew, the Truckee Limited of 1971. I also have a slide
taken by the late John Hungerford of AC 4274 sitting there on December 1, 1957 while running
as number 27, the last run of a Cab-Forward over Donner.
I get the date correct? I'm going by memory and didn't look this one up.
