Nevada Northern Winter Steam Spectacular Day 1
Author: kurt765

I have long desired to go to one of the Nevada Northern Winter Steam Spectacular shoots. This year I decided that no matter what I would go. So I went February 15-17 and I just had a wonderful time. I can't recommend this place enough.

1. #40 in the yard
2. #40 crossing at the wig-wag signals
3. #93 emerged from the Engine House to get some coal while we were shooting #40

That's all for Day 1 (at least that's what I narrowed it down from several hundred exposures). Stay tuned for days 2 and 3.

Great place to go especially during a photo charter.  Kind of the West Coast version
of the "East Broad Top."  Thanks for sharing your neat variety of photos......
