Nice pics, but the GE's aren't that loud, you ever been next to an F40 at full HEP, that's loud!

Well, the destination is clear (Reno), but where did you start the trip? Sacramento?

Martinez, CA., looks to be the starting point.

Is that the Reno 911 squad with the dog queueing up for their daily shakedown of sleeping car pax???

They were walking back to coach... probably looking for herbs...

Yeah, the A-Team of the Reno goon squad is plain-clothed, although their academy-sanctioned haircuts mostly blow their cover. Haven't had the pleasure of sparring with them lately, maybe next time.
