Train watching near Reno, NV
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, October 14, 2002 12:43 PM
I'm in Reno this week on business. Anybody know where the good train-watching spots are near here for either the Feather River route or the Donner Route? Anyone know the amount of stack traffic over the Feather River route compared to the Donner route this week since the ports re-opened?
