Passenger Trains > Came for the Flanger- Stayed for 5

Number 5 following a UPRR flanger over Donner, and pretty close to On Time too!   In fact, I think the small delay they took at Truckee was just letting the flanger get out ahead of them.

Nice low angle, SR, but begs the question:  "Did you see your shadow when you came up out of your hole to take that photo?!?  And, are we going to have 6 more weeks of winter on Donner?!?"
Yes, it's almost a couple weeks after Feb 2nd, but I couldn't resist-- lol!   More importantly, I hope you had your new vest on so everyone could see you!

Ha!  Yes I did wear my new vest, but not quite for RR safety...

I parked in the Soda Springs Ski overflow parking that was closed-  the entry coned off.  There was a vested guy on an end loader clearing snow at the far end of the lot. 
So.   
I  donned my vest, moved a cone, parked the Subie in a corner of the lot, and waved.   He gave me a couple taps on the horn and waved back.
Vest Guys Park Where They Like!
It's like a Brotherhood, Right?

(or maybe a cult)

Haha-- but you forgot your endloader down at Alta?!?  Ahhh, hell yeah....
Endloader guy:   "He's got a vest, must be cool....  Yup, that'll work, nice wave, too...  Right on," Reflective vest, bros before ho's"
But... hey, that's a SUBIE??!?!?!

Some Omaha Orange will fix that.
