Almost looks like it is in the TRukee CA Area.
Always at war with those that think OTR trucking is EASY.

Right railroad, UP's "Overland Route," but not in Nevada and not Truckee California.

Nope, but you're close, but not as close as The S. P. Caboose. Hint; the red building in the background is a firehouse.

The above Whereizit photo was taken at Alta, California during a Yahoo-CalRailfan list's get-together known as Altafest. This was my first time going to anything like it, it was a most enjoyable day.

Another photo from Alta, California taken April 2nd.
