Furloughed from Amtrak in
winter 1984-85, I took a job
checking Sierra snow depths.
Flying between sites I photo-
graphed the Norden complex.
A westbound freight at
Emigrant Gap passes the speed-
ers of track inspection crews
from Truckee and Colfax, who
would meet here for lunch.
A track crew performs a roll-
by for a westbound oil train on
the bridge just outside Shed 10,
near Cisco. For the train,
Roseville is 71 miles ahead.
