Nostalgia & History > When the Norden concrete sheds were newDate: 10/15/20 10:47 When the Norden concrete sheds were new Author: photobob When I visited Norden in December 1961 the wooden sheds had burned down a few weeks before. I returned in 1962.when the concrete sheds had been erected and got a few shots at sunrise.

The gap between the shed where you've standing and the two sheds on the left (the #1 Track and the Turntable Lead) was eventually enclosed too. The portal on the right was forever left open to the far shed (which is gone now). A brief moment it time... very cool!

Larry Date: 10/15/20 13:16 Re: When the Norden concrete sheds were new Author: boejoe Twenty years ago I rode the w/b California Zephyr from Reno to Oakland. Which track do you suppose my train would have normally travelled in these shots?
Date: 10/15/20 13:33 Re: When the Norden concrete sheds were new Author: BoilingMan The track on the far left is Track 1 to the sheds over Donner Lake (now gone). The two tracks in the far right are Track 2 and it’s siding. They go to Tunnel 41 (“Big Hole”) and is/are the more likely route for Amtrak when both 1&2 were available.
I’m not sure exactly when Track 1 was abandoned. SR Posted from iPhone Date: 10/15/20 19:53 Re: When the Norden concrete sheds were new Author: trainjunkie Outstanding shots PB. Glad you took the time to document it.
