And folks there's nothing wrong with Jay's camera, that's what February looks like in the Valley.

Picture #3 shows a short train between Visalia and Tulare and if you look behind the caboose you will see some dust flying around...thats because the train is doing 40mph or a little better.

Santa Fe Branches in the valley were better maintained than the SP
