UP Jungo Rd Winnemucca NV (2152)

Along Jungo road, a graded gravel road that runs west from Winnemucca towards Gerlach.


I had been on the Jungo road for about an hour and, despite that fact that it is parallel to UP tracks, I had not seen or heard a train for the entire time. Soon, though, four trains came through relatively close to each other.

This was a fairly steep climb with the trains moving very slowly up the hill. The engineer on this train gave a hand motion as he passed by, signalling how rough a climb it was.
