Tomorrow morning I hop on a plane for a short flight down to Sacramento, where I will be spending four days related to Winterail. In addition to attending the main Winterail show, I’m presenting a short program on the Mt. Hood Railroad at the Railfan & Railroad pizza party tomorrow night. The remainder of the time will be spent railfanning… exact plans are pending but I hope to spend time in the East Bay area, along the Cal-P, Franklin Canyon, and the Feather River Canyon.
Being the locomotive-chasing fool that I am, I plan to visit the yards in Roseville, Stockton, and Richmond. I’m up to date on my locomotive database tonight; I’ve recorded 13,323 locomotive sightings for a total of 6,875 unique locomotives. Breaking 7k on this trip would be neat but isn’t likely to happen unless I get extremely lucky. A couple of lucky bastards called me tonight to gloat that they’d just got done taking some night shots of UP 1983 at Roseville (earlier they were chasing a train led by SP 101 on Donner).
Say hi at Winterail, I’ll be the guy wandering around in the dogcaught.com hat
