A time when UP freights had a greater variety of cars and less of them had graffitti.

Jim,
That is known as your "perfect meet."  Used to be a good area for camping back in the day.  Thanks for sharing.

Nice meet! Thanks for recording and sharing the video. Back then, I could almost never nab the eastbound BNSF over Donner, as it would descend into Sparks in the morning.

It was more than 10 years ago (2012) that I ran into you while chasing the UP 1996 leading a QFRNPP. Reminder of great days gone by.
