Glad to see this gem made it on! Probably my favorite Welch shot ever.

If any picture deserves to make it, this one sure does. This picture would have been one of David P. Morgan's favorites. It has the feel of David Plowden. I was going to get a similar shot of the UP Challenger in 1996 at this location. But local railfans said I would never make it in time. So instead I went to a spot right off the interstate close to Tracy. In the final analysis I would have had plenty of time because the Challenger train spent over an hour at the Pass for runbys, I have always had dreams about how great this place is. I think it started with the “Train’s Magazine” story on the F units at Milpitas.

Stunning! Gets a PC from me.

Nice job, Steve. Nice to see something out of the ordinary, especially so nicely captured.

PCA hands down! Must have spent a good 5 minutes observing your picture.
