Broken rail near Gold Run. SR Date: 04/16/15 15:41 Re: Amtk 42 Veteran Unit leading No 6 CZ on Thursday. Author: chips7335 I saw Amtrak 42 as it left the Roseville Depot today so I motored on up to Newcastle to catch itr as it went by on track 2. I had a wait of about five minutes. There was a Union Pacific freight train on a Newcastle siding so I knew that another train would be coming by soon. It wasn't long before Amtrak 200 went by westbound on track 2. The freight train was then released and I was 3 for 3 today.

Photo 1. The crew waiting out the Z. The conductor is wearing the stylish vest so that he'll be looking his best when it comes time to walk down and throw the cross overs. Photo 2. The Z is by, so 6 is off- crossing over to the #1, 1:15 late. Photo 3. Later, Mark..... SR Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 04/16/15 16:59 by BoilingMan. |
