Nevada Northern Winter Steam Spectacular Day 3
Author: kurt765

And finally the last day of a too-short 3 day weekend that left all my clothes smelling like coal smoke.

24. The two steam locomotives quietly simmer in the Engine House, facing the opposite direction that they usually do in order to...
25. Put on a show! With temperatures in the teens every bit of steam output was visible as 93 exits the Engine House
26. 40 and 93 exit simultaneously and spectacularly

27. The first puffs of each locomotives' exhaust charts a new course up through the frigid air, free of the confines of the roof
28. Way out on the Hiline #40 steams through a cut through the rock
29. #40 poses with her entire consist in spectacular Nevada winter basin and range scenery

30. View from the caboose as our wrecking train starts to leave the yard
31. #93 bursts out of the tunnel with tremendous steam and exhuast
32. Another view of #93 thundering uphill out of the tunnel

33. Portrait of #93 moments after she dumped her fire, exhaling nothing but pure steam
34. With that remaining steam her last few puffs of exhaust coast her into the shop where she will quietly cool down after a great weekend
35. At the end of the day the sun shines on the American Flag hanging from the crane as the crew takes care of last steps to put #93 to bed

36. Good night #93, and thank you for a wonderful weekend
37. Remember: SAFETY FIRST, last, & always
38. Last light on the yard with a nearly full moon as I make my way to the car for the long drive back to LA

End.

Next year I'm going to go back if at all possible!
