You do so well. Now I know what all that open space north of the mainlines was used for. Date: 11/21/14 20:44 Re: X-6149 west at Truckee 1962 Author: DynamicBrake WOW, how times have changed. I first passed through Truckee in the summer of '60. The town sure doesn't look like the railroad town it really used to be. Great shot BTW Bob, thanks for sharing.

Excellent shot as always, Bob. ~Ryan Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 11/21/14 22:26 by Cajon92.

Never have seen a picture of them as searchlights.
