What you're seeing is the sun baked dry grassy hills! S_W Date: 01/13/20 07:35 Re: Meet Monday, WP . . . Author: SPDRGWfan During my 15 years in the Sacramento area, I saw it snow in the valley at least twice; so it wasn't beyond belief. The photo sure look like there is a dusting so snow but apparently not.

Kent in CArmel Valley Date: 01/13/20 12:47 Re: Meet Monday, WP . . . Author: tgcostello Great photo, Joe. Love the peek at Rocky up front. Were those BN units an SD45 and a GP30?
Tim Costello Date: 01/13/20 15:33 Re: Meet Monday, WP . . . Author: 3rdswitch Yep, 45 30, making this an "Inside Gateway" train. Pigs on the other most likely makes it a mainline train for UT.
