if you like snowblowers, they usually park a couple within sight of the sparks nugget casino. in fact, that's where your birds eye view might come from.

Try posting this on the Trains forum. There is a guy over there (username SP9033) who is from the Reno area.
Also try
http://www.terraserver.microsoft.com/
and
http://maps.google.com/
. By the way, if you are looking for the former SP yard, I believe that is in Sparks, NV.
