Twas the day before Christmas

Twas the day before Christmas that my journey began, till late Christmas day...

Across the highlands of the Sierra Nevada, past the plain of Nevada and Utah through Winnemucca through to the Winter Wonderland of Fraser, Colorado.







Lonely petrol station in the desolation




The view across the train




Viewing car chair and the snowy mountains...






Guess why trains go slow in winter...


Hot springs of Glenwood...
