Napa Valley RR--5-27-16
Author: SN1005

Hi,

A little late with this one.  The daughter came down to see us last week.
She wanted some wine to take back to Reno, so we took a ride up valley.  Traffic not too bad.
On way back we ran into this consist South bound. compass.!!
I can only assume it is a training run for the new winery train..???

#1--my shot--

#2--daughters iphone shot.

Around Hoffman Lane and highway 29, Napa County Calif.

Napa Valley RR is becoming an Alco haven. I took the train twice, proposed to my wife on  the second run. Talked to the CMO for awhile. He was looking for a B-unit. I guess he never found one!

Yes, expect a fence almost all the way from Napa to Yountville along the bike trail.

Good catch by the way.

Glad to hear that. Without a fence those lawless trains will trespass all over that bike path. <G>

All kidding aside it's pretty neat to see an RS11 still working. Heck, anymore it's neat to see any ALCO road unit working anywhere.
