Steam & Excursion > Winter For These Railroads At This Town Was Cold But Beautiful!

Winter was clearly in full swing when one photographer braved the cold and the snow to capture this image in the 1930's at the joint Western Pacific/Southern Pacific depot in Westwood, California. 

On the adjoining track we see Red River Lumber 2-8-0 #100 waiting for her next trip back to the woods.  She was built for the Tonapah & Goldfield and sold to the RRL in 1914 along with her sister engines #101 and #102.

You can almost feel the stillness in the air in this photo.

Funny you mentioned "stillness". I felt it glancing at the image but hadn't named it until I read your caption. Beautiful photo.

magical "stillness"!
