Passenger Trains > Pics From Last Nov : Tioga Pass (LAX - YUM)

These are a selection of shots from a trip we took last November aboard PV Tioga Pass. Myself and a friend went as far as Yuma Az. I believe Tioga Pass was on its way to New Orleans on this particular run.

Thanks for the comment..

Riding thru the Alhambra Trench was definitely one of the highlights of this trip. Now - If I can only get a ride thru the Alameda Corridor trench....:)

Take a subway line just about anywhere. It's not really that interesting a ride until you get back out to the surface near Dolores.
