Western Railroad Discussion > Cisco Butte, Shed 10, and the UP 1996Date: 01/21/23 09:44 Cisco Butte, Shed 10, and the UP 1996 Author: BoilingMan It's tricky shooting the ridge between Yuba Gap and Troy late in the day- it's always in shadow. Early mornings aren't much better. But it's a beautiful historic bit of railroad so you do what you have to do...
SR Donner_D: Yeah, ya, that's a real scramble to get over to 10 from Eagle Lakes Road for an EB!

Very nice photo !!! Date: 01/21/23 11:34 Re: Cisco Butte, Shed 10, and the UP 1996 Author: TCnR Interesting angle from the drone, standing at trackside the topology / geology is a lot different.
Haven't been up there in a long time, I had to look around to find it's single track to the right side of the bridge ( west ) and 2MT to the left, ( east ). Good stuff. t4p. Date: 01/21/23 22:31 Re: Cisco Butte, Shed 10, and the UP 1996 Author: donner_dude1 BoilingMan Wrote:
