Author: 3rdswitch

An eastbound SP hot shot is passing through Garnet, CA, in July '76, before the infamous wind generator outbreak.

Ah, yes. The famous MSE train to St. Louis. I wonder why he's in the long siding? That train use to be treated like a Z train. That is to say, the way a Z train should be treated.

You can even see part of what's left of the east leg of the wye to the right next to the trees.

Cool photo, so sandy it'a almost like snowy Xmas in July! Hmmm, in five or so years, all but one of these five guys pulling up front will become Taylor Yard deadline sunbathers.
