If you like hanging out in places like this for hours on end, maybe you could get a job with the railroad!

Dang. That looks like the area betwen Wendover & Salt Lake where the tracks go across the Salt Flatts for like ever. Extreamly desolate spot. If that is the area between Wendover & Salt Lake then I have driven right through there on high way 80 & I have ridden Amtrak's California Zephyr right through there as well.

This is the siding at Parran, Nevada - 64 miles east of Sparks, 32 miles west of Lovelock. U.S. Highway 95 parallels the track here.

Damn, its my life long dream to work with the railroad, but I've just graduated from High School and I can't find any railroad work here in Dallas. :( Makes me really sad, especially when I see a train rolling down the track

ah, ok. Now I know where that is at. I have an engineer friend who works the Zephyr between Reno & Winnemucca right through there. Almost looks like that spot by the Salt Flatts. Now I know where this was shot at. I have shot numerious vids at that High way 95/Ocala crossing. If you search youtube for "west ocala nevada" you can see some vids that I have shot at that crossing. Wonder if I have ever shot any other vids of trains that you were working.
