A few photos of the Dunsmuir yard taken recently. Castle Crags are in the background. The long string of yellow in the yard are stored Union Pacific SD90/43MACs.

UP tore out the concrete from a diesel servicing facility. I believe PhotoBob posted some photos of it in the last year or so. UP has created a fanced storage yard in that space.

EDIT: Found a couple links to what was there:

Very Nice Ryan.Loving your drone work.
Regards,dK

Nice photos Ryan. This got me thinking......The drone may be the only way to duplicate the early Dunsmuir photos seen in many postcards. The idea would be to fly above the trees and shoot looking west as seen in many early photos. See you this weekend 

That actually just occurred to be yesterday while looking at a PhotoBob photo taken from the old pedestrian bridge by the depot.
Would be interesting to line up your postcard photos and current shots...hopefully the field of view and focal length would be comparable to make an interesting comparison.
