The video is WB approaching and crossing Switch 9- exactly where I was shooting #6 this afternoon.

No, they are not great photgraphs, but combined they just about perfectly tell the story of your round trip to Reno, just the way any of us would have seen it out the windows. An original report, thanks for sharing. It was fun to see those Mof W crews and ballast cars too, they bring the railroad to life.
