The train departed Emeryville, CA almost 10 hours late, and lost more time enroute. The train is trying to make up time as best it can, moving along at track speed as it passes by the frozen pond. Three P42DCs are on the point today, and in addition to the baggage car, there are Superliners in tow. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train is moving at track speed as it approaches a clear (green) signal at the east switch of Tonville. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
