No 10 and 4pm train cruise through Sutter's crossing with Smokey Joe Fox at the throttle... gotta' love those flags!

So are you saying that Young Smokey is at the throttle of Old Smokey??

Glad to see I wasn't the only one getting wet over the Fourth.

Nice photos Stephen. They look great. Yeah, on the 2 p.m. trip, coming south, I looked to the west, and there were some big clouds, and we knew we were going to get wet on the next trip, and sure enough, at around 2:40 ish, it poured for about ten minutes or so, then let up a little for the 3 p.m. trip. By the time we got to Alna Center, it had changed to a light drizzle.

Doesn't look like you are getting wet in the second shot as it looks like your standing in the north door of stall 2 of the car shop e'm I correct?

Nope, I was getting wet while trying to shoot that shot and several others...lots and lots of drying off the camera on Saturday afternoon. Storms have been fast-moving, and dramatic looking lately! This was taken just moments before the skies opened up...

 Wow what can anyone say about the station shot. Thats really a dramatic picture and should be the July page on a calender. You really have a great nack for catching just the correct moment.

Wow, great shot of the station and clouds. We were all very glad that the heavy down pour only lasted for about 15 minutes. It let up, and started drizzling just before the 3:00 p.m. trip.
