I was pleasantly surprised to find this shot in my dad's collection. I knew he had a lot of roster shots of the Western Pacific. But didn't realize he had this gem out on the WP main. From what he told me about the WP was that they ran one train a day, on the eastern end towards, the end. So catching them was definitely a challenge. It's also interesting to analyze this picture for how this area has change. The biggest being this section of I-80 hadn't been built yet. Which changed the landscape. UP has also realigned the track-age as they became one railroad. Tom Ellis photo.
