Amtrak's California Zephyr - REAR VIEW - Through Sparks & Reno NV, & the desert east of those cities

Railfan window view from westbound Amtrak #5 crossing northern Nevada. The first part is near Winnemucca, paralleling Interstate 80, followed by the UP Sparks Yard, and the Reno grade separation into the station. Filmed on June 21, 2014.

Before late 2005, the Reno train station and trains used to run through the street on ground level before it was completely reconstructed to the Reno train trench!

[@gaylenemorley916]

It is really neat to stand and watch the track fade away as ya move west

[@jasonalperin9414]

Think I can see where the second track used to be before Moyers had it lifted in the SP era!!!

Desolate landscape, but lovely in its own way!

Rear view is better than front view?

[@Robbi496]

sorry for the hijack, but they say that Reno is so close to h--- that you can see Sparks :)
