Date: 05/21/15 15:19 Re: Crossing The Yolo Causeway Author: norm1153 '83? Whatever year it was, I sure remember that. There were waves.

There is a system of gates. one set just north of West Sacramento that can divert water into the Yolo Bypass when the Rivers reach a certain stage. Photo on the page with the Bypass flooded in '06.
sphogger Date: 05/24/15 20:00 Re: Crossing The Yolo Causeway Author: Gr8adventure What time did this train finally get to Davis? I was there at the depot for over an hour, basing the arrival time on the promotional flyer/webpage. Never did see it. After the Zephyr and a Capitol, and then a coal train, I decided to call it quits. Nice picture, though!

I'm not sure when they left as I leapfrogged ahead to catch them at Bahia. Posted from iPhone |
