UP 844 Eastbound from Elko 10/2012
Author: JDLX

Last thing I do before heading to bed tonight...three views of the #844 eastbound from Elko in October 2012.

The middle shot was only made possible by an extremely late westbound Zephyr...right before this moment somebody on the UP side told the Amtrak crew over the radio to have their passengers look out the left windows, they just might get to see something unusual...

Hope you all enjoy...

With a quick glance at your first backlit shot, I am reminded of some of the shots I got of the QJ's in China! Awesome image, Jeff!

Also love first shot, but the middle shot is a great trifecta. Nice series.

Great Shots..Those cold Mornings in Elko always made for great white/black smoke shots! Reminds me of 1991 (844/3985) and 1992 (3985) departures from here. I used to work/rail-fan/Video along this whole area,from Wendover to Winnemucca and still working on video transfer for both '91/'92 Steam trips (No Diesels!) ..Thanks for the Nice Pics!
