Western Railroad Discussion > Ace Train #2 passing through Newark

My wife and I went for an afternoon walk, where else would I suggest to walk, to the closest grade crossing near our house.  I lucked out ACE Train number 2 came by on its way back to Stockton (April 2).  It only had 4 cars on due to the pandemic, usually this train has at least 6 cars. One other thing I noticed, does anyone think the sky looks more blue. Thursday was a windy day in the bay area usually near the coast the sky looks this blue.  Or is it like the old song says:"It's just your imagination"

Later,

Perhaps the reduced auto traffic because of covid19 has lessened the air pollution, and the sky appears bluer?
Glad you are getting in some trainwatching.  BSB

Pollution levels are down everywhere.

Looks like five cars to me. Agree about the air quality being much better overall.

There are no airplanes in the OAK landing pattern either so the air is pristine when it's not raining....
