My Facebook "memory book" reminded me that two years ago this past week, I was on my cross-country drive. Here are a few of the train sights I saw....
San Francisco Cable Car Museum
California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento
Restored depot, that I believe had a cafe, in Lovelock, Nevada.
For some reason, I really like this photo - and have since I took it. Taken spur of the moment from the window of the car as we rocketed across the Nevada desert, enroute to Wendover, at Sunset, at 90MPH.
Union Pacific yard and station at Green River, Wyoming.
Cheyenne Steam Shop, roundhouse and Big Boy.
Lot's of Union Pacific traffic along the route parallel to I-80. I think this is UP's Overland Route but not sure.
Railroad displays at Cody Park, North Platte, Nebraska. Terrific place. Would love to visit again.
Union Pacific locomotives on the hill overlooking I-80 at Kennefick Park, Omaha, Nebraska.
Jesse James Historic Site, Adair, Iowa. Location of first US train robbery (or at least that is what the sign said!)
