Nostalgia & History > F3's on the CZ, Altamont Feb 1970Date: 04/22/06 17:12 F3's on the CZ, Altamont Feb 1970 Author: drew1946 A solid set of F3's, led by 803A, on the Zephyr Eastbound thru Altamont, February 1970. Also, a steam generator car as the old F3's probably were unable to provide enough steam.

Just visited this spot a last week but din't bother to climb up above that far above the mainline. Actually, with the water retention from the recent two months of constant storms, getting up there is one slippery muddy mess...
