Amtrak 5 At Truckee In A Rageing Blizzard, 02/15/09

Set To High Quality

Taken: 02/15/09

In a strong snow storm, Amtrak #5 with AMTK 24 leading rolls into Truckee. While departing, the crew shares the information that CTC is down, and that will will have to flag all the way up the hill.

Amtrak 5 was also given a speed restrication for 10 mph. This helped us alot, as traffic on I-80 was a real mess. Shortly before Amtrak 5 arrived, we even put our snow-cables on the front tires. It turned out that if you did not have all-Wheel WITH snow tires, you would get turned around!
