Russ,
Where are all the cold winter runbys with all the great plumes like JBW had on TO?
I did this line(To Gold Hill) in 1994 for our first America By Rail video. They were very cooperative. They gave me a cab ride, and even dropped me off at the tunnel so I could shoot it coming back to Virginia City, and stopped to pick me up. Sure would be nice to do that on the C&TS sometime!!! They used the caboose(open one), and an open car, so two cars, but not regular coaches like you had.
Gildersleeve was heading out there when I emailed him about some images.
