The train reflects sunlight down at
water level. Ocassionally, a silver salmon was spotted trying to
swim upstream. Below right is a deceased king salmon.
The word was given to reboard and we

The railroad has signs indicating the
beginning and end of "blocks." These blocks are for the
institution of a future collision avoidance system which will be
integrated with GPS. The sign in the lower right photograph says
"End Miami block begin Canyon block." Of course this is also a
great place to flag the Hurricane Turn train.
