UP train at Shed 10

On Thursday Aug 12, 2010 I went to Sacramento, via Davis for a meeting. On Friday the 13th, after the meeting, I went to a campground in the Sierras to meet my buddy Ken and his son Zach. This was our second Donner trip in 2010. We spent the next day and a half chasing trains. It was tons of fun!

August 13, 2010

Friday, after my meeting, I drove towards the mountains to meet Ken and Zach. But, there was an accident at Antelope Road, so I diverted through Roseville Yard. I did not see any trains moving, but I got a chance to check out the yard. I finally made it up the hill and set up my tent right before dark.
