Western Railroads

 

     On several trips, both business and personal, I’ve had the opportunity to photograph western railroads.  I won’t bore you with too many pictures.

 

Santa Fe

 

     Both Cajon Pass and Tehachapi Loop are great spots.  Here a couple of shots from the former.

Southern Pacific

 

     On a business trip to Reno in 1987, I spent my free time alternating between Donner Pass and Feather River Canyon.  Even though it was 80 degrees in Reno, there was snow at Donner Summit.

Western Pacific

 

     In 1981, a friend and I took a cross-country train trip and one of the highlights was a day in Feather River Canyon.  The weather was fantastic and it was almost impossible not to take great pictures.

Union Pacific

 

     On a 1987 trip, I covered the east end of Feather River canyon.  Of course, it was now Union Pacific instead of Western Pacific, but the scenery was no less spectacular.
