Swift Train on the Dry Canyon Trestle
Author: photobob

The SP tracks were laid along the base of Mt Shasta back in the 1920's which bypassed the steeper Siskiyou Line. One of the locations required a large trestle to span one of the many canyon's on the side of the volcano. Here's the infamous Swift Train crossing the Dry Canyon Trestle in the early 1990's.

You normally see head end power in photos posted on TO or any other rail fan site . . . but here is one that is more much more arresting especially in B & W . . . I stared at this for quite a few seconds . . . nicely done Bob . . . as if I would expect anything less . . . .:)
