[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by M.W. Hemphill</i> <br /><br />Jim: I checked out the shoofly last spring -- right down an alley! I took a few nice photos from the fifth level of the adjacent casino parking garage of Amtrak pulling in. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />The parking garage must have been Harrah's. A nice spot indeed, but wi***hey would have but the wires for the lights for the temporary plateform underground. Before the shoo-fly, nice top shots could be had off the the top floor of the Fitzgerald's parking garage across Center St from the Harrah's garage. <br /> <br />Here is one of my first attempts at a night shot. This is Commercial Row between Virginia and Sierra on Jan. 1, 2005. A westbound manifest on the shoo-fly. And of course it was this class locomotive that put the nail in the coffin of manned helpers on Donner. <br /> <br />Jim - Lawton, NV (MP235.5) <br /> <br />[img]http://ll-photo3.home.att.net/UP5835_01-01-05_2.jpg[/img] <br /> <br />
